For instance, they may become wary and defended or especially needy and demanding of care and attention. Bowlby was a psychoanalyst who was just starting to break the mold that Freud had set, and had been stagnating for several years. All of these behaviours give strong signals which lead caregivers to approach and respond to the needs of the baby.

What strategies can be used to provide sensitive caregiving that develops secure close relationships? Understanding this can help us to challenge and overcome unhelpful or unhealthy attachment behaviours, to form healthier relationships with ourselves and others. These controlling behaviours usually include role-reversal in which a child acts towards others like a parent might towards a child e.Rhesus macaques - infants show a marked preference for a soft dummy ‘mother’, despite its providing no food, to a hard one that does provide it (Harlow and Zimmermann 1959). This outcome may be supported by the use of the secure base model across all services to vulnerable children. If everyone could only understand what the alternatives to stable attachment are, a lifetime of suffering, surely the world could be transformed! It is a positive, strengths based approach that focuses on the interaction between the caregiver and the child, but also considers how that relationship can enable the child to develop competence in the outside world and manage often complex relationships with birth family members. Disorganised: Where the caregiver is rejecting, unpredictable and frightening or frightened, the infant is caught in a dilemma of ‘fear without solution' (Main and Hesse 1990).

This course will develop participants' knowledge of the Secure Base Model as well as their competence in using it during the assessment process, in preparing applicants, and in evidencing and analysing prospective carers' potential to meet the needs of children and young people.

The Secure Base model provides a positive framework for therapeutic caregiving which helps infants, children and young people to move towards greater security and builds resilience. e how they threat their parent is a major cause of mental ill-health; therapist should avoid moral judgment and encourage the patient to consider how and why the parent might have acted the way they did — this way patient can gain understanding of how things have developed and move on to forgiveness and reconciliation. It can be helpful, first, to think about caregiver/child interactions as having the potential to shape the thinking and feeling and ultimately the behaviour of the child.Bowlby's view of what was necessary for sensitive care relied on the caregiver thinking about the thoughts and feelings of the child, and over time enabling the child to think about the thoughts and feelings of the caregiver and other adults and children. We owe Bowlby a debt of gratitude for laying much of the groundwork for our current understanding of the importance of our biological attachment response in all important relationships.

For example, a caregiver who is playing with a child in a focused, child-led way may be doing so with sensitivity and acceptance as well as demonstrating availability and promoting co-operation. Bowlby observed that these models are established in the first few years of life and as children get older models retain some flexibility but become increasingly resistant to change. As attachment behaviours become more organised, so that demands for food or play become more targeted, the adults who respond to them become highly significant to the growing baby.Each interaction conveys a number of messages to the child and has an incremental effect on the child's beliefs about him or herself, beliefs about other people and the relationship between self and others.
