16 September 2025 | 3.00pm - 5.00pm | Zoom
Developments in Attachment Research explores the contributions of several research groups in developmental science that have shaped the study of attachment and caregiving in recent decades, each with a different image of the history of attachment research, of the nature of attachment, and why and how attachment research might be valuable.

This session, which will be livestreamed from the Coram Campus, brings together the book’s author alongside key speakers in psychiatry, clinical psychology and social work.

Developments in attachment research

Attachment theory is a staple of practice. However, the version of the theory in circulation is quite outdated. Not only does attachment theory today look very different to the paradigm initially introduced by John Bowlby and Mary Ainsworth. More than this, with the accumulation of evidence over time, there have been some major revolutions since the 1990s. This webinar by Professor Robbie Duschinsky will discuss the fundamental changes that have occurred since the 1990s.

The session will present insights from Al Coates' international Churchill Fellowship Report, focusing on support models and interventions for families managing children with care experience who exhibit challenging and violent behaviour, which is more common among kinship carers and adoptive parents than the general population.
