Frequently asked questions

Who was John Bowlby?

John Bowlby (1907–1990) was a British psychiatrist and psychoanalyst who developed attachment theory — the idea that early emotional bonds between children and caregivers profoundly shape psychological development throughout life. His work transformed child psychology, parenting, and our understanding of love and loss.

What is attachment theory?

Attachment theory holds that humans have an innate need to form close emotional bonds, and that the quality of early attachments — particularly with primary caregivers — shapes our capacity for relationships, emotional regulation, and mental health throughout life.
