Attachment between individuals, whether between a mother and child or adults, can significantly impact relationships and well-being. Therapy can help address attachment issues and improve relationships. John Bowlby, the father of attachment theory, emphasized that attachment is a basic need, separate from the provision of basic necessities like food and shelter. During World War II, observations of children in England highlighted the importance of attachment for healthy development. Recognizing attachment as a fundamental need is crucial, despite societal messages advocating self-love first, as human connection is as essential as food and water.
