Course Overview

This Critical Approaches to Attachment short course allows you to consider the question, to what extent do early relationships affect emotional development, well-being and our later attachments?

We will use research findings to explore how people differ in their early attachment patterns, how far these set the scene for adult relationships, and how far early difficulties may be overcome by later, more positive experiences.

Assessment is via two pieces of coursework, around 1500 words each.

As a student on this course, you will study alongside Birkbeck students enrolled on one of our undergraduate or postgraduate courses, giving you the opportunity to network with a range of Birkbeck current students whilst you learn.

This can be taken as a standalone short course or as part of:

Credits: 15 credits at level 4
