Attachment Across the Lifespan ((3-4 Credits))

Catalog description

The student will engage in the study of principles of classical attachment theory (e.g., Ainsworth, Bowlby), adult attachment theory (e.g., Feeney, Hazan, Shaver), and Parasocial Attachment Theory (e.g., Giles, Stever). An advanced understanding of the concept of attachment as 'proximity seeking for the purpose of safe haven and felt security' at all stages of the lifespan will be the emphasis in this course. While it is not required, it might be helpful if students took Introduction to Psychology, any human development survey course, or equivalent. This course was previously HDV-283124 . Please note: Students should not enroll in this course and HUDV 2035 Attachment in Early Childhood as there is significant redundancy in the content of courses.
