Welcome back! In this episode, we discuss the significance of the humanistic approach to psychiatry, and the importance of relationships and the environment in child development. We talk about core concepts in attachment theory, such as the Strange Situation by Mary Ainsworth, adult attachment interview by Mary Main, and mentalization by Peter Fonagy. We emphasize that attachment serves as its own biological and motivational system, and that attachment trauma can be healed through exploring your internal and external worlds with another.
