A Secure Base

Product Information

The caregiver speculates about these thoughts and feelings and reflects them back to the baby (Are you hungry? The formation and development of attachment relationships continue through the lifespan, so that adult children's relationships with their parents will change and, for example, as adults we both care for and receive care from our partners. What strategies can be used to provide sensitive caregiving that develops secure close relationships? Each of the five caregiving dimensions can be associated with a particular developmental benefit for the child, as shown in the table below and positive caregiving guidance for each dimension is outlined in this guide to Positive caregiving approaches. Gillian Schofield is Emeritus Professor of Child and Family Social Work and former Head of the School of Social Work at the University of East Anglia (UEA).

This book can help you to understand yourself and the way you relate to other people, other people and how they relate to you, and the basis of the way we form attachments. This is, perhaps, one of the most important theories for the understanding of human nature and behavioral patterns. Ce livre est conseillé aux professionnels de l'accompagnement ayant envie d'explorer la construction de la relation chez les enfants, adolescents et adultes. But it also considers how those relationships can enable the child to develop competence in the outside world of school, peer group and community. With my limited knowledge I would say that this book is the ground-zero for anyone interested in developmental analytical psychotherapy.Here by model we mean the expected input-output behavior of a others that is heavily affected by how a primary care giver (usually the mom) responds to a child’s needs and communication. Thus to change children's negative expectations of self and others requires caregivers who can sustain availability and sensitive responding in the face of apparent hostility and lack of trust. The absence of a possible strategy to achieve comfortable proximity in infancy leads to confused and disorganised behaviours. I've already heard and read about attachment theory written by others during my undergraduate study, but it was only after reading this book do i have a clear idea of what attachment really is.

The ensuing relationships will provide a secure base, from which children can develop and be supported to explore and maximise their potential.I found many of his precepts compatible with the client-centred therapy of Carl Rogers, which is the theoretical framework for counselling with which I am most familiar. We have chosen to represent this process in a circular model, the caregiving cycle, which shows the inter-connectedness of caregiver/child minds and behaviour, as well as their ongoing movement and change. Ellen Broomé welcomed Gillian Schofield and Mary Beek to talk about the new edition of their bestselling publications, The Secure Base Model and Promoting Attachment and Resilience.
