The 100th anniversary of Edward John Mostyn Bowlby's birth (February 26th, 1907) was celebrated at the Tavistock Clinic in London by his family and colleagues, with presentations of ongoing research as well as reflections on both the person and his theory. My own reflections include the influence of ethological thinking on the development of attachment theory, Bowlby's focus on observations followed by explanation, his appreciation of emotional communication as well as behavior, and his recognition of the role of the family as well as the child/caregiver dyad. While always remaining open to new avenues of research, John Bowlby was firmly insistent on the precise use of attachment terminology, and quite rightly too!
爱德华·约翰·莫兹利·鲍尔比诞辰100周年(1907年2月26日)之际,他的家人和同事们在伦敦的塔维斯托克诊所举行了庆祝活动,会上展示了正在进行的研究,并对他本人及其理论进行了反思。我自己的反思包括习性学思想对依恋理论发展的影响、鲍尔比对观察后进行解释的关注、他对情感交流以及行为的重视,以及他对家庭以及儿童/照顾者二元关系作用的认识。虽然约翰·鲍尔比始终对新的研究途径持开放态度,但他坚决坚持对依恋术语的精确使用,这也是非常正确的!
