ABSTRACT
Since Bowlby’s death in 1990, a number of different individuals have come to prominence in the field of attachment theory, as both theorists and researchers. Mary Ainsworth had worked alongside John Bowlby during the early days before going to Uganda and later to Baltimore, where she developed her seminal strange situation test. Her research has eventually led to the adoption of a four-part typology of attachment schemas that has been widely adopted throughout the Western world.
