The ebook takes the elemental principles of attachment conception and integrates it with different relational theories, resembling these of Stolorow, Brandchaft and Atwood’s “intersubjective standpoint” and Heinz Kohut’s “psychology of the self”. the writer takes us via this strategy step by step, constructing an integrative, relational thought which, if applied clinically, might help practitioners to allow their consumers to achieve a feeling of “learned security”: a feeling of getting a safe base to which to come to in occasions of vulnerability.

Maybe his belief that women should be the carers was the result of an idealised view of reality. Bowlby saw the emotional bond between carer and child as being psychological in origin, rather than the result of a need for sustenance or infant sexual desire (Kleinian and Freudian concepts in their turn). He stated that the child's primary motivational need was for the proximity of his mother to keep him safe, in contrast to Freud's belief that physiological needs were paramount.
