Insecure Attachment Patterns

Captions available

The idea

Insecure attachment patterns include avoidant, resistant, and disorganized responses to separation and reunion.

In practice

An avoidant infant shows little reaction to departure and turns away from the caregiver on return.

Where people slip

These are patterns of relationship, and they are shaped by caregiver responsiveness and by infant temperament together.
