Discuss the role of early caregiver-child interactions

Examine the evolution of attachment relationships from infancy through adulthood, drawing on attachment theory and research. Discuss the role of early caregiver-child interactions, internal working models, and attachment styles in shaping individuals’ social-emotional development, interpersonal relationships, and mental health outcomes across the lifespan. Analyze the impact of attachment disruptions, such as parental divorce, bereavement, and trauma, on attachment security and adjustment in childhood, adolescence, and adulthood. Evaluate attachment-based interventions, such as attachment-focused therapy and parent-child attachment interventions, in promoting secure attachment bonds and relational health in diverse populations.
