Here is my outline, please use this to write the paper:
I- Introduction
Developing a secure attachment between the infant and their parents is an important part of early childhood development. There are many things that can interfere with the development of a healthy attachment. Without a secure attachment, an infant may develop problems that can continue throughout their lives. Trauma, abuse, and neglect that impacted the parents can inhibit the development of a secure attachment in their infants.
II- Problem: Causes of non secure attachment in infants
A. Abused and/or neglected mothers
1. “Transient and subtle lapses [of reason] occurring during the discussion of traumatic experiences have been shown to be associated with infant attachment disorganization” (Berthelot et al., 2015, p. 202).
2. Untreated abuse and neglect of the mother creates a high possibility of attachment disorganization of their infants.
B. Distant fathers
1. ” Historically, ‘attachment’ was a characteristic of the infant in relation to his/her mother” (Condon et al., 2013, p. 15).
2. Recently, attachment to the father has taken on a more important role.
3. There is a lack of research with regard to attachment to the father.
4. A strong connection between the father and the fetus before they are born shows a strong correlation to secure attachment after the infant is born.
C. Adolescent mothers
1. Adolescent mothers are at high risk for infants to have unsecure or disorganized attachment (Crugnola et al., 2016, p. 1)
2. Intervention programs are being developed which help to mitigate this risk
3. The main focus of these program is to turn an insecure attachment infant relationship into a secure attachment.
III- Conclusion
Mothers who have been impacted by abuse and neglect, fathers who are distant and uninterested in their infants, and adolescent mothers can all lead to problems with developing secure infant attachment. Many infants have to contend with one or more of these risk factors present in their parents. It may be necessary to address the underlying problem with the parents in order to help their infants develop a secure attachment.
