Attachment theory was first developed by John Bowlby following his observations of orphaned and emotionally distressed children between the 1930s and 1950s.
He found that infants had an instinctive drive to seek closeness to their caregiver for comfort and safety and that infants became distressed when separated from their primary caregiver.
Bowlby believed attachment behaviour to be a survival-driven phenomenon with an evolutionary basis.
