Attachment Theory According to John Bowlby and Mary Ainsworth

Seminar paper from the year 2001 in the subject Psychology - Developmental Psychology grade: 17 University of the Arts Berlin language: English abstract: I will first provide a brief historical outline of the origin and development of attachment theory closely linked to the biographical data of its founder John Bowlby. Later I would like to point out some characteristics based on which the attachment of a person can be classified. I believe this information to be important with regard to teaching since the teacher is acting in the environment between the institution of school family and child. I would like to include some of the approaches in which this knowledge could be used in an everyday school setting.
