Attachment theory contains one general premise and two derived principles. This is the product of evolutional processes. For bowlby, the attachment process between the human infant and mother is not dependent upon the mother being a source of food and is not related to sexual desire as. Sigmund freud proposed with his oedipus complex theory. Instead, attachment is an autonomous process done in its own. Gives the offspring security and gives it a better chance of survival by providing care during the maturation period. The first derived principle: bonding is a joint process in which both parties are involved.
