1 / 1
)
Insecure Attachment
While a child with a secure attachment is able to form meaningful relationships with others, a child with a non-secure attachment may have problems. There are three types of insecure attachment: 1) insecure-avoidant, insecure-ambivalent, and insecure-disorganized.
A child with an insecure-avoidant attachment may be aggressive, anti-social, or withdrawn. A child with an insecure-ambivalent attachment may be uncaring, distant, or depressed. A child with insecure-disorganized attachment shows characteristics of both insecure-avoidant and insecure-ambivalent attachments. These patterns of behavior tend to persist over time and life.
