Abstract

Resilience is a cornerstone of emotional wellbeing and psychological health and is in turn influenced by the early bonding between caretaker and child. The focus here is on Attachment Theory starting with Bowlby’s early work and examining specifically the relationship between secure attachment and psychological health as reflected in the capacity for emotional regulation, high levels of self-esteem and the ability to form satisfying relationships.

Keywords: Mental Health; Relationships; Attachment Theory
