Recommended: Strengths of the bowlby attachment theory

Supporting people in having a voice and being heard is one of the five key principles of care practice in the K101 course. They link to the National Occupational Standards ‘Health and Social Care’. The principle states you need to show that you support and develop relationships with individuals so they can communicate and express views and preferences regarding their health and general needs without any fear of being ridiculed, rejected or retribution. I am going to look at two cases one of Jordan Morgan (not his real name) being moved away from his birth family and placed into foster homes and the impact of this on his identity. Also by looking at the importance of his life story work in creating Jordan’s identity correcting anecdotal stories he has. I will also discuss why it is important for the carers to support Jordan in having a voice these carers are Bill, Jordan’s foster carer and Suzanne McGladdery and Afshan Ahmad who work for Foster Care Associates. The second case is of people in ‘total institution’, living in Lennox Castle, who did not have a voice. What the effect of not being heard had upon them and the care givers examples given by Margaret Scally who was a resident there and Colin Sproul who was a nurse. Jordan’s case was that he was moved away from his birth family at a young age and this meant he had no real or accurate information about them causing him to have no real sense of his identity. As he has been moved through different relationships with primary care givers it can lead to difficulty to sustain and feel that he has a secure base. (Unit 5, p 26-27). Using Bowlby’s ‘attachment theory’ this can cause restricted opportunities to form secure and reliable attachments This is paramount in the live... ... middle of paper ... ...tten records you would not have the actual knowledge of what life was like there. With the oral history you see another perspective of life within the total institution from both staff such as Colin and residents like Margaret. This gives a voice to the people leading to an improvement in the care that they receive, in supporting relationships with individuals and taking on board what their views and preferences they can receive a much better holistic care service.

    Health and social care professionals encounter a diverse amount of individuals who have different needs and preferences regarding their health. As professionals they must ensure that all services users, whether it is older people with dementia, an infant with physical disabilities or an adult with an eating disorder (National Minimum Data Set for Social Care, [no date]), are treated in a way that will successfully meet such needs. In fact, health and social care professionals have a ‘duty of care’ towards services users, as well as other workers, in which they must legally promote the wellbeing of individuals and protect them against harm, abuse and injury.

    Australia has the terrible condition of having an essentially pointless and prefabricated idea of “Aussiness” that really has no relation to our real culture or the way in which we really see ourselves. We, however subscribe to these stereotypes when trying to find some expression of our Australian identity. The feature film, The Castle, deals with issues about Australian identity in the 1990’s. The film uses techniques like camera shots, language and the use of narration to develop conflict between a decent, old fashioned suburban family, the Kerrigans and an unscrupulous corporation called Airlink. Feature films like The Castle are cultural products because they use attitudes, values and stereotypes about what it means to be Australian.

  • The Quality of Relationship Between the Carer and Care Receiver

    1331 Words  | 3 Pages

    In the case of Ann and Angus (K101,Unit 1,pp.14-19), this was an informal type of home care based on the previous and existing relationship between Ann and her step-father Angus. Liz Forbat (K101,Unit 1,p.27) interviewed 6 pairs of people involved in family care and believed that people became carer and cared for in the context of an existing relationship so the strengths and weakness of those relationships were played out in the care relationship. Ann had the right skills to make a successful care relationship with Angus as she loved and supported him and still allowed Angus to remain an individual and respected his beliefs and preferences. Though her own relationships with her other family members were under pressure and her own life had drastically changed. However, while Ann was caring for Angus she was crossing the normal boundaries of her previous...

This appears through the family home and social interaction when introduced into the education system. From a young age Jara’na showed advanced motor skills, independence and an excelling imagination in the family home. Bowlby’s “Attachment theory” (Psychologist World and partners, 2016) connects with Jara’nas life as this is shown through an emotional attachment towards his mother, which grew stronger and resulting in separation anxiety.

  • John Bowlby's Attachment Theory

    2162 Words  | 5 Pages

    John Bowlby’s attachment theory established that an infant’s earliest relationship with their primary caregiver or mother shaped their later development and characterized their human life, “from the cradle to the grave” (Bowlby, 1979, p. 129). The attachment style that an infant develops with their parent later reflects on their self-esteem, well-being and the romantic relationships that they form. Bowlby’s attachment theory had extensive research done by Mary Ainsworth, who studied the mother-infant interactions specifically regarding the theme of an infant’s exploration of their surrounding and the separation from their mother in an experiment called the strange situation. Ainsworth defined the four attachment styles: secure, insecure/resistant, insecure/avoidant and disorganized/disoriented, later leading to research studies done to observe this behavior and how it affects a child in their adolescence and adulthood.

  • The Importance of Attachment for the Children's Development

    865 Words  | 2 Pages

    Attachment theory is the idea that a child needs to form a close relationship with at least one primary caregiver. The theory proved that attachment is necessary to ensure successful social and emotional development in an infant. It is critical for this to occur in the child’s early infant years. However, failed to prove that this nurturing can only be given by a mother (Birns, 1999, p. 13). Many aspects of this theory grew out of psychoanalyst, John Bowlby’s research. There are several other factors that needed to be taken into account before the social worker reached a conclusion; such as issues surrounding poverty, social class and temperament. These factors, as well as an explanation of insecure attachment will be further explored in this paper.

  • Bowlby’s Attachment Theory

    Bowlby’s attachment theory has greatly influenced practice. His theory of attachment explains the importance of having a figure that the child shares a strong bond with. Having an attachment can significantly support a child’s development as Barbara Woods suggests that “his theory of attachment proposed that attachment is innate in both infants and mothers, and that the formation of this attachment is crucial for the infants development” Wood, B (2001, p.53). Bowlby believed that forming an attachment will help a child develop in all areas e.g. emotionally, physical and mentally. However if they did not form an attachment in the sensitive period, the child may have issues or problems in their cognitive, emotional and social development. “Attachment is as essential for the child’s psychological well-being as food is for physical health claimed Bowlby” Wood, B (2001, p.54). Bowlby claimed in this statement that attachment is a necessary thing which a child needs in order to develop healthily.
