Based on what you learned about his research, to what extent do you think human babies deprived of attachment are able to overcome its negative effects? Can you think of any examples in which people were able/unable to overcome childhood attachment deprivation? If someone was able to overcome it, what do you think are some of the protective factors that made them resilient? If someone was unable to overcome it, what do you think can be done to mitigate the negative impact of the deprivation?
