Document Summary
Found that prolonged experiences of mother-child separation or deprivation of maternal care were much more common among the thieves than in the control group, and that such experiences were especially linked to children diagnosed as affectionless. Security suggests without care or without anxiety and comes from latin. Blatz had several kinds of security: immature dependent security, independent security, and mature dependent security. Immature dependent security: infants, and to a decreasing extent young children, can feel secure only if they can rely on parent figures to take care of them and take responsibility for the consequences of their behavior. Children become uneasy or frightened while exploring, they are nevertheless secure if they can retreat to a parent figure. Thus, the parent"s availability provides the child with a secure base from which to explore and learn. Independent security: as children gradually begin to gain knowledge about the world and learn skills to cope with it, they can increasingly rely on themselves.
