Influence of early attachment

MediumHard

Question 3

Sonia finds it very difficult to trust her romantic partners and often feels anxious that they will leave her. She frequently seeks constant reassurance but also pushes partners away when they get too close. Her mother was highly inconsistent in her caregiving during Sonia's infancy, sometimes being warm and at other times being cold and rejecting.

Using your knowledge of Bowlby's theory of attachment, explain how Sonia's internal working model was formed and how it has influenced her adult relationships.
