Place Attachment Research

When living with his grandmother, Suina describes his memories during the frigid winter. During those cold months, “a warm fire crackled and danced brightly in the fireplace, and the aroma of delicious stew filled our one room house.” Suina’s description illustrates his grandmother’s house as a nurturing environment. It is a setting in which his grandmother clearly cares for him. He remembers enduring the long freezing winter nights when “the thick adobe walls wrapped around the two of us protectingly.” The characteristics of the house showcase a sense of connectedness between Suina and his grandmother. Living with his grandmother clearly give Suina several reasons to be happy. It is not only a place that cares for and protects him, but it is also a place that “was just right.” Suina’s grandmother’s house provides him with a tremendous amount of self-confidence. Unfortunately, all of that self confidence is lose when he goes to school. School leaves Suina utterly bewildered. He begins to realize how different the two settings are. He starts to lose sight of the essential aspects of life with his grandmother that once made him so

Explore how perceptions of belonging and not belonging can be influenced by connections to places.

Thereafter, both the authors have same attitude about the place. Eiseley says “it is the place that matters”. We may not be there physically but it is always in our heart and mind. He has emphasized this by giving examples of pigeon, mouse and the old man. On the other hand White have the same opinion regarding the place. He glorified the place where he was in his childhood.

The attachment theory is a theory by Bowlby that refers to the joint mutual relationship that babies experience and develop with their primary caregiver (Bowlby, 1982). This theory is not supported by research in various sceneries. However, even though the attachment theory began as an initiative, the clinical application to the daily clinical understanding of adult mental health complications has penned red behind the current available research. I believe that the theory can give valuable insight into both the developing nature of recognized psychiatric disorders as well as in the development of the therapeutic relationship in adults. My position provides an overview of (a) the application of attachment theory to diverse psychopathologies

The feeling of belonging is not a necessity that everybody needs but is a common feeling that most people believe to be important in their lives if they want to be happy. People believe the feeling to belong helps them to be happy because if they feel like they belong somewhere they will feel safer and more confident when in that place. The place people feel like they belong in does not have to be a physical place like a house or a town/city but can also be a social place or in some ways an emotional place. An example of these would be a group of close friends or a person's home although a home is also a physical place it varies depending on the person because of the emotional feelings attached to that place are different so it could be considered an emotional place for someone to

On 12/216, there was a court hearing to allow DHS to have access to children and the home to seek medical care for Zoey following the DV incident. DHS is requesting out of home placement at this time.

Myth and history are not separate, nor are the past and present. Each influence each other and impact how individuals see the world today. Physical place embodies this cyclical relationship. I am curious about place and its meaning to individuals: does it change based upon their own history and knowledge about that place? What is the power of a mythologically significant place?

The article that I decided to read and summarize was Attachment and Exploration in Adults: Chronic and Contextual Accessibility. The article spoke of two studies that both took place at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The goal of these two studies was to dig deeper into attachment styles and see how an adult’s attachment style coincided with a willingness for exploration. The summarized hypothesis of these studies guessed that a secure attachment style would positively correlate with exploration and the anxious-ambivalent and avoidant styles would negatively correlate. The term exploration in these studies represented a broader term which was then broken up into three sub-groups which were physical, social, and intellectual.

There are a number of influences that contribute to the formation of attachments and the differences among individuals. One influence on attachment is the amount of time a caregiver spends with an infant. The amount of time can be affected by the age, health, and social status of the mother. For example, a younger, teenage mother, may return to school in order to complete their education. Returning to school can preoccupy a mother and create a disconnect when an infant’s distress and behaviors are not attended to or ignored. Another example of how the amount of time spent with an infant can be affected is a single-mother or a mother who returns to work within the sensitive time of an infant’s development. Similar to the younger mother example,

Yi-Fu Tuan discussed “Place ' as a location created by human experiences (Tuan, 2001). Whereas ‘space’ may have no human connection, a ‘place’ carries meanings given by humans. It can be any size - a city, neighbourhood or a

There are two types of relationships between permanence and place. Architectural distinction helps to particularize a place from its surroundings. It is a static permanence. It is related to physical relationship between the building and place, its endurance, firmness and stability. Second fundamental factor is time. Time is responsible to create long lasting dispositions resulting in notable events which help to create permanent traditions that are embedded to its place. This dynamic permanence is based on mental relationship between community and place, through consciousness, awareness and various activities related to it. (Tuan, 2014)

What does one call a place where they feel safe? A place where one is surrounded by loved ones? A place where one can forget the worries of the world for even a brief moment. A place where no matter what happens, they will always have a place to return to. They have the deepest of connections with those that live there; connections that they know will never be severed no matter what happens. That is home. Home can be defined as where a person lives or has a permanent residence, but it is more than that when pondering on the emotional connection it has with the heart. A common phrase that is constantly used is “there is no place like home”. It is not because a person misses their previous residence, but due to the many qualities it possesses that could possibly never be found anywhere else. Home is not simply a place where one lives, but a place where love, contentment, and tranquility are abound.
