Developmental psychiatry comes of age
J Bowlby
Tavistock Clinic, London, England.
Although Meyer and Freud believed that the seeds of mental health are sown
in childhood, systematic research has proved difficult and disappointing,
and theory has remained intensely controversial. Research of the past two
decades by developmental psychologists using an ethologically based theory
of socioemotional bonds, however, is yielding findings that consistently
confirm predictions. The author outlines this research, giving examples of
the results, which are shown to be compatible with findings of
epidemiological studies of depressed adults. He holds that a person's
degree of vulnerability to stressors is strongly influenced by the
development and current state of his or her intimate relationships.
