PSYC180G PO - Attachment Theory, Research, and Clinical Applications

When Offered: Offered alternate years; next offered fall 2015.
Instructor(s): J. Borelli
Credit: 1

Attachment theory, originally developed by John Bowlby to describe the nature of the tie between infants and their caregivers, has grown astronomically over the years, becoming a dominant paradigm within the field of psychology. In this class we will undertake a thorough evaluation first of attachment theory itself (focusing on primary readings by Bowlby and Ainsworth) and then will move into studying the myriad ways in which the original theory has been applied to the study of relationships across development, risk for psychopathology, and, ultimately, the treatment of psychopathology. Prerequisites: PSYC 051 PO  and either PSYC 131 PO  or PSYC 108 PO .
