Revisiting The Science of Attachment with Bethany Saltman 

Bethany Saltman, author of, "Strange Situation: A Mother's Journey into the Science of Attachment," introduces us to the Strange Situation Procedure developed in the 1970's as a way to observe the attachment styles of children between the ages of 9-18months. In one stage of the procedure the mother, or primary caregiver, and a stranger sit in a room with the child, and then mother leaves the room.  The way the child reacts to the mother's leaving and her return is carefully observed and information about the attachment bond is categorized into an attachment style.  This procedure revolutionized the understanding of child and adult psychology specifically in relationships and bonding. 

 

Join us as we discover how knowing about your attachment style provides a clue as to how you manage the stresses of relationships and parenting as an adult. Knowing this, you can start healing relationship wounds and foster secure relationships with your children and loved ones.
