ABSTRACT:
The basic Gestalt theory assumption that human relationships are important for development is reinforced by observations made in attachment theory. Bowlby regards attachment as a fundamental human requirement which corresponds to the need to belong to a community as described by numerous Gestalt theorists (such as Metzger, Wertheimer,Lewin a.o.). Results of attachment theory research suggest that experiences of attachment and relationship in early childhood influence the development of mental structure which Bowlby refers to as an “Internal working model ”. That means that attachment experiences produce images which affect the perception and handling of later relationships. Fonagy expands on attachment theory by using the “Theory of the Reflective Function ”. He assumes that the reflective function builds the basis for a consciousness of the psychological self and influences cognition and affection.
