The Coherence of Individual Development: Early Care, Attachment, and Subsequent Developmental Issues.

Sroufe, L. Alan

American Psychologist, v34 n10 p834-41 Oct 1979

Based on research on patterns of infant-caregiver attachment, a theory of individual development is proposed. Principles of the theory include a focus on adaptation, a view of the person as a coherent whole, a central role for affective constructs and emotion, and a focus on individual differences. (GC)
