Styles of attachment to parents and evaluation of interpersonal relations

Abstract

Individuals with different personality patterns inevitably influence each other in private and business life. This interaction is called interpersonal relations. First experiences with the caregiver constitute the very core of a baby's interpersonal relations. A healthy and cohesive mental development depends on the interaction with the mother/father or primary caregiver. Styles of attachment to parents create a cyclical effect for interpersonal relations and for sustaining these in harmony. Compliance, as well as being an indicator of health, is of great importance for healthcare. It is only possible to provide healthcare effectively through therapeutic relationship that can be described as purposive and contributive communication to treatment. In order to provide a high-quality and efficient healthcare service, there should be a sound therapeutic relationship between healthcare staff and the individuals receiving the care. This soundness can be achieved via improvement of healthcare professionals’ knowledge, skills and insights on attachment relationships and interpersonal relations.
