Problem: Jennifer and Matt come to family therapy with their 3-year-old Brian. Brian appears distressed by being in an unfamiliar office with you, an unfamiliar face. Jennifer responds by calmly talking to Brian, giving hugs when wanted, and offering reassuring words as she introduces her child to the new environment. The child calms down and within 5 minutes plays quietly with a dollhouse. Matt rolls his eyes and says, "see how she coddles him? This is what's wrong with the world." Which of the following is true about Brian in relation to attachment theory? Brian appears to be securely attached to Jennifer, which will help him to be an adaptive adult in the future. Brian is too attached to Jennifer, which will lead him to be a dependent adult feeling powerless in the world. Matt's perspective will provide good balance to Brian's upbringing, so that Jennifer doesn't coddle him too much as he gets older. Brian is likely experiencing disruptions in brain development because Jennifer is not allowing him to self-soothe.
