A Sound Base - Fostering Secure Attachment Relationships

Pasquale De Marco

Summary

In the tapestry of human existence, attachment weaves an intricate thread, binding us to others and shaping our lives in profound ways. From our earliest moments, we seek connection, reaching out for comfort, security, and a sense of belonging. These early attachment relationships lay the foundation for our emotional, social, and psychological development, influencing who we become and how we navigate the world around us.

This book delves into the depths of attachment theory, a transformative framework for understanding the profound impact of these early bonds on our lives. Pioneered by the groundbreaking work of John Bowlby, attachment theory has revolutionized our understanding of human development, relationships, and well-being.

Through the lens of attachment theory, we gain a deeper appreciation for the enduring power of human connection. We recognize the profound impact of secure attachments in fostering resilience, emotional regulation, and a sense of purpose. We also acknowledge the challenges faced by those struggling with insecure attachments, and we explore strategies for cultivating more secure bonds throughout the lifespan.

As we journey through these pages, we will unravel the intricacies of secure and insecure attachment, examining how they shape our relationships, our sense of self, and our overall well-being. We will explore the profound influence of attachment styles on our adult lives, shedding light on how our early experiences continue to resonate in our current relationships and endeavors.

Furthermore, we will delve into the therapeutic potential of attachment theory, discovering how it can illuminate the path towards healing and growth. By understanding our attachment patterns and addressing any disruptions or wounds, we can embark on a transformative journey of self-discovery and cultivate more secure and fulfilling relationships.

With this knowledge, we can strive to build more secure attachments, fostering a world where individuals thrive in the embrace of healthy and fulfilling relationships.

Charles Babbage and Ada...

Charles River Editors

While many are familiar with those facts, and a recent movie revived interest in Alan Turing’s achievements with computing during World War II, it was Charles Babbage who was the first to conceive the notion of a programmable and automatic universal computer, which, on top of its ability to calculate any mathematical equation at an unmatched speed, could also be used for a seemingly infinite number of other applications. In other words, he envisioned the precursor to the modern computer.   
At first blush, Babbage hardly seemed the type, because in many ways, Babbage was the antithesis of the debonair, silver-tongued, and effortlessly charismatic CEOs of present-day tech giants. Babbage was a quirky individual to say the least. He was highly observant, but was in the same breath a habitual daydreamer, often caught in a trance of deep thought.  Indeed, his unquenchable thirst for knowledge and his brilliant mind were unparalleled, but this was paired with his restless, addictive, and extreme nature, as well as his obsession with precision and factual accuracy.  
	Working with Babbage was certainly an unusual path for any woman, but Ada Lovelace managed to do so before an incredibly premature death. Augusta Ada King, Countess of Lovelace, died in 1852 at the age of 36, but during her short and tumultuous life, she was one of the first to recognize that computers could do far more than complex calculations. This was all the more surprising given that, during her life, no computers existed, and her ideas were based on an implicit understanding of the theoretical work of Charles Babbage, who himself is today recognized as the “Father of the Computer.” What makes her work truly startling is that she did this more than 100 years before the first computer had even been created. But Ada Lovelace was a woman, and in Victorian England, her work was generally either ignored or disparaged.

Hate and Reconciliation -...

Guido Cuyvers

Hatred is human and current. It is an intrinsic part of what can happen between people. Personal experiences can lead people to hate someone. In society and even on a global level, hatred is again and again the motor of misunderstanding and often also of violence between people. Sometimes hate smolders almost unconsciously; at other times he is furious and serves as a flag for serious violence. 
 
 
 
Hatred has many faces and seems omnipresent, that much is clear. The term "Erida complex," after the Greek goddess of hate, symbolizes the common and deeply rooted nature of hatred. After examining the nature of hate, this book focuses a wide-angle lens on its many faces, in individuals and groups as well as peoples. Facing the negativity of hatred, this book presents constructive approaches to fostering relationships between people and peace.
