Bowlby's Monotropic Theory - Attachment - Psychology Revision Tool

The video explores Bowlby's attachment theory, highlighting the evolutionary basis of attachment and the innate behaviors in babies that facilitate bonding with caregivers. It outlines the four stages of attachment development: pre-attachment, attachment in the making, clear-cut attachment, and goal-corrected partnership.
