Hodges and Tizard (1989) carried out a natural longitudal study‚ to investigate the effect of institutional upbringing on later attachments. They concluded from their study‚ that Bowlby was correct to emphasise the importance of the early years. Indeed‚ loving relationships and high quality care are necessary to reverse privation effects.

Attachment Theory founded by John Bowlby (1977) it explains how we as humans obtain affectionate bonds with others and how when they are threatened how we as humans tend to react. He suggests that these attachments come from a need for security and safety.
