John Bowlby

Hello everybody!!

Today I going to talk about the person that I admire on my discipline, Psychology, he is John Bowlby.

John was a British psychologist, he was born on England on 1907. He grew up under the rigid customs of this country. His father was  doctor and his mother don’t worked, Jonh saw her just one hour in the afternoon after the “tea”. Both considered like all the parents of the same social class that too much parental attention will be bad for him.

He was raised by a nanny; however, she lefts the house when he was four, this was considered like a separation maternal for him.

In the University he studied Psychology, more later he studied medicine, did a specializing on psychiatry and finally did a specializing in psychoanalysis, title that obtained on 1937. He died on 1990.

His principal attainment was the "attachment theory" on the decade of sixty, which refer to the innate motivational behavior independent conduct of eating or sex, something typical of biological evolution that arises in the moments of greatest need of the child, in the search for security for survival under  in conditions of threat and it have relevance until today.
