Remedial education to promote the development of children with psycho-social disorders

What is the significance of theory of attachment for practical remedial therapeutics? It is a current and intensive debate on this issue in the socio-psychological field of work. The intention of the article is to make public the possible applications of attachment theory. To start with, fundamental assumptions of attachment theory will be introduced (following J. Bowlby 1975), then the role of attachment processes in problematic human relationships will be described. The author will attempt to make clear how fundamental remedial-therapeutic concepts of actual treatment can be deduced from the considerations, theory of attachment makes, and how this can be practically applied, illustrated by a case study from actual remedial-therapeutic work with a girl with psycho-social behavioural difficulties and her mother. Thus, the author tries to show a highly promising way from theory of attachment to attachment therapy.
