Attachment

Synopsis

'Attachment’ is the term used by British psychiatrist John Bowlby for the bonds that develop between mothers and their children. This concept now forms the basis for psychological research into how young children develop relationships with those who care for them. The programme looks at some of the research that has been done within this area, focusing on a laboratory procedure called ‘the strange situation’, which gives an insight into the young child’s state of mind about ‘attachment’.

Notes

NB. As of May 2016 Open University Worldwide are no longer distributing DVDs. They have posted this message on their website: ‘Unfortunately Open University Worldwide Limited has decided that product sales are no longer viable given the reduced funding to Higher Education institutions and diminishing demand for the products we have traditionally stocked. At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
