Throughout this essay I will be discussing the significance of attachment theory for social work practitioners and how they can implement this to develop emotional functioning with younger children. In addition I will examine how the theory has changed and progressed since John Bowlby and Mary Ainsworth first “attempts to examine the psychological effects of early relationships” ( Goldberg,2000, pg3) to more contemporary approach such as Michael Rutter’s book on “Maternal Deprivation reassessed” critiquing Bowlby and the development in neuroscience. Attachment theory can be defined as a “lasting psychological connectedness between human beings” (Bowlby 1969, p. 194). John Bowlby, “a British psychoanalyst’ work attempted to understand the…
Restated from the Text Stated in Your Own Words “The ability to transcend personal interests to provide care and concern for younger and older generations; it encompasses ‘procreation, productivity and creativity and thus the generations of new beings, as well as of new products and new ideas, including a kind of self-generation concerned with further identity development’ (Hutchison, 2015).” Generativity refers to the stage in middle adulthood where individuals focus on making a significant difference in the world through caring for others, coming up with helpful ideas, or products. “Failure to find a way to contribute to future generations, or to make a contribution to the general well-being, results in self-absorption and a sense of stagnation…

In order to foster healthier thoughts and behaviors, it is important for therapists and clients to move beyond the concept of blame. Individuals learn to cope with life’s difficulties the best way that they can, given their circumstances. In this vein, Peled and Sacks (2008) offer a feminist critique that questions the validity of labeling women “codependent.” The codependent characteristics of caretaking and self-sacrifice are taught to women, especially in their roles as wives and mothers. They found that there is no empirical evidence showing that wives of alcoholics are different than wives of non-alcoholics in their caretaking and self-sacrifice.…

Three different patterns were observed. They are secure attachment, avoidant attachment, and ambivalent attachment.…
