British psychiatrist John Bowlby (1969) proposed that all
infants have an inborn ‘primary drive’ to form an attachment
with a caregiver and that mothers are the best caregiver
Bowlby - infants use genetically inherited abilities to get near
main caregiver (crying, smiling, gazing, vocalising, clinging)
However, a more widely held view is that humans may
inherit a capability to form an attachment, but the type and
quality is influenced by many factors
