A collection of lectures from the founder of attachment theory
In A Secure Base, world-famous psychiatrist John Bowlby investigates the role of early intimate relationships in child development. Pulling from evolutionary biology and psychoanalysis, Bowlby posits that a secure base in childhood provides the foundation for an emotionally available adult. He investigates the role of this secure foundation for fostering emotional resilience, self-esteem, empathy, and ability to trust, and how these characteristics impact therapeutic and relationship outcomes in adults.
