Students should focus on psychodynamic theory (Freud), lectures 5,6 and 7 below (Module 2) which provide insight into the roles of the unconscious and the ways in which a person develops the ability to adapt to various demands and the theory of infant attachment (Bowlby and Ainsworth.) You will find these below in Module 3 resources. Lectures 12, 13 , 14 and 15 which explains both early attachments and the development of close relationships throughout the life span. Students who are parents or interested in child care or those working in this area should enjoy listening to all of Professor Watson’s lectures at their leisure.
