Attachment explains the person you have become from birth through the whole of your lifespan.  The changes that take place are influenced by biological factors (nature and by environmental and cultural factors (nurture). Developmental psychologists focus attachments between infants and their parents to look at how much these influence our development. It also enables them to look at whether these relationships are fixed or have the capacity for change and observation of children brought up in different circumstances. In some circumstances children suffer childhood trauma that is not always evident until later. This part of the course will enable you to recognise that childhood relationships impact on adult relationships.
