From the early work of J ohn Bowlby and Mary Ainsworth to its widespread use in assessment\, superv ision\, and court reporting\, it has become a key lens through which pract itioners interpret children's experiences and relationships.\n\nBut theory does not stand still.\n\nIn recent years\, important questions have been raised about how attachment theory is interpreted\, applied\, and sometime s simplified in practice. The ongoing and recent work of Dr Sarah Foster a nd Professor Robbie Duschinsky highlights the need to ask what the evolvin g understanding of attachment means\, in terms of the evidence base\, the use of attachment classifications\, and at the assumptions that sit beneat h our everyday professional language.\n\n What happens when a theory beco mes embedded in systems?\n Where does nuance get lost?\n And how do we u se attachment thoughtfully without oversimplification or misplaced certain ty?\n\nAt the same time\, new research is expanding our understanding of e arly relational life\, raising further questions about what shapes childre n’s emotional development and how we conceptualise risk and resilience.\ n\nThis CareKnowledge Live webinar\, in conversation with Professor David Shemmings\, offers the space to reflect on how our understanding of attach ment has shifted over time and how it should alter the lens we use to unde rstand relationships.\n\nTo register your attendance at this free webinar please click on the link below.\n\nhttps://www.careknowledge.com/webinar/a ttachment-developments?utm_source=Outlook&\;utm_medium=Email&\;utm_c ampaign=LWcontacts&\;utm_id=LWcontacts\n\nIf you have any questions ple ase do not hesitate to contact me directly at lorna.wren@pavpub.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:Europe/London X-LIC-LOCATION:Europe/London BEGIN:DAYLIGHT DTSTART:20260329T020000 TZOFFSETFROM:+0000 TZOFFSETTO:+0100 TZNAME:BST END:DAYLIGHT END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
