How Attachment Designs Can Influence Future Mental Health Everyone experiences the process of attachment during development. It starts as soon as a new life is brought into this world and it is taken by a person well into adulthood. It involves an exchange of comfort treatment and bonding between child and mother or father.


Secure

Children with a secure attachment show a visible preference for their primary attachment figure.


Ambivalent-insecure:

In contrast to secure children, ambivalently attached newborns are overcasted by a malaise of distress and guardedness.


Avoidant-insecure:

Avoidant, insecure children do not display a particular preference for their attachment figure over a stranger.


Disorganized-insecure:

Defined later due to its complexity, children who display a disorganized mix of avoidant and other resistant behaviors are believed to result from a similarly polar combination of comfortable and fearful parenting.
