Attachment Theory and Its Impact on Human Relationships

According to attachment theory, the tendency to form close emotional bonds with specific individuals is a fundamental component of human nature.

This innate drive is present from birth and continues to develop throughout a person’s life, even into old age.

A child’s development is strongly influenced by their upbringing, particularly the relationship with the mother.

An individual’s ability to form close emotional connections with others is one of the most important indicators of psychological well-being.

Any mother needs a certain degree of intuition and understanding of her child, which usually develops over time. She makes mistakes and learns from them. If she is able to handle these challenges reasonably well, her child gradually becomes more secure, learning to let go, move away from total dependence, and develop new sources of support.
