Riki Koenigsberg posted several links to videos related to attachment theory. One of particular interest to me is a four minute clip of Michael Rutter talking about Maternal Deprivation and his attitude towards Bowlby's work: http://www.psychexchange.co.uk/videos/view/20813/
Summary: One needs to think of deprivation in terms of a disruption of a relationship or an interference in the functioning of that relationship and not simply with separation. They researched whether the risks of mental disorder were the same for parental divorce as for parental death, and found the effects were much stronger on divorce than on death. Death, while obviously more permanent, did not involve the conflict and discord that seems to be the key driving factor. Rutter concluded his remarks as follows: "I also differed [from Bowlby] in that it seemed to me psychoanalytic theory was completely hopeless in dealing with this. Bowlby initially gave a lot of credit to psychoanalysis, but his theories on attachment were greeted with extreme hostility of a personal kind, and later, I think in probably his last book in 1988, he said that psychoanalysis was never more wrong than in its theory of development. He and I were actually pretty close together. He laid emphasis on the value of psychoanalysis in forcing one to think about feelings, and I'd agree with that, but he agreed with me in the end that the specifics of that were just totally wrong." Correct me if I'm wrong, but my impression is that the long-discredited psychoanalytic theory of child development is still presented (at least in brief outline) in current college psychology texts. (Fine, if it is only in an historical context!) Reference: M. Rutter (1981), *Maternal Deprivation Reassessed* (2nd edition), Penguin Books. P.S.

It seems so descriptive - perhaps someone has an activity where you have to categorize other people's (or their own) love patterns. There is of course tons of research on Attachment Theory. Does anyone have an activity for that? I've looked all the normal places (crow, social psychology.org, etc.) but not turned up anything. And I don't have my normal library of books and teaching manual to consult [sad face].
