Popis: This article presents basic concepts of attachment theory and proposes that they be included as well as behavior courses. The ethological perspective of attachment accounts for the close bonds that form between particular individuals and the significance this has for mental health. It also accomodates a range of sociocultural factors that influences personality development. Maladaptive outcome is related to disruptions of attachment, especially from conditions of separation and loss or dysfunctional family experiences. Practice techniques can be applied to individual, family or group treatment, with the role of the social worker to provide clients a secure base from which to explore and begin to understand real life events and the meaning give to them.
