Attachment theory was originally developed by John Bowlby, and was later expanded by Mary Ainsworth. This theory describes the way that the relationship between infants and their primary caregivers can affect their development and understanding of the world. Bowlby stated that children will seek proximity to their primary caregiver, in an effort to receive comfort and to feel safe. Either a secure or insecure attachment will develop, depending on the caregiver\u2019s response to the child. This attachment style is then carried forward into future relationships. Research on attachment styles has shown that the failure to form secure attachments early on in life can have a significant impact later in life. Exploring attachment styles can help with the understanding of patterns in relationships, self-esteem, and other difficulties in life.<\/p>\n
