Refuting evidence

• Rutter


  Bowlby didnt distinguish between deprivation and privation.

  He emphasised the importance of multiple factors:quality of caregiving,childs temperament and broader social environment.

  He wanted the challenge what he thought was the simplistic view of maternal deprivation.
• Rutter wants a more comprehensive understanding of the complex interplay of factors influencing a childs development
• Bowlby is also criticised to overestimate the impact of early life experiences affecting later adult personality
