==Description==
'''Attachment theory''' describes the [[dynamics]] of long-term [[relationships]] between [[humans]]. Its most important [[tenet]] is that an [[infant]] needs to develop a relationship with at least one primary caregiver for [[social]] and emotional development to occur normally. Attachment theory [[explains]] how much the [[parents]]' relationship with the child [[influences]] development. Attachment theory is an interdisciplinary [[study]] encompassing the fields of [[psychological]], [[evolutionary]], and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethology ethological theory]. Immediately after [[World War II]], [[homeless]] and [[orphaned]] children presented many difficulties, and psychiatrist and psychoanalyst [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Bowlby John Bowlby] was asked by the UN to write a pamphlet on the issue which he entitled [[maternal]] deprivation. Attachment theory grew out of his subsequent work on the issues raised.
