Attachment and mentalization Early caregiving relationships are probably key to normal development in all mammals, including humans (Hofer, 1995). John Bowlby, the founder of attachment theory, postulated a universal human need to form close bonds. Bowlby originally proposed that the basic evolutionary function of the attachment instinct was to ensure that infants would be protected from predators (Bowlby, 1969). g. proximity seeking, smiling, clinging) are reciprocated by adult attachment behaviours (touching, holding, soothing) and these responses reinforce the baby's attachment behaviour toward that particular adult.
Maltreatment creates a further profound complication within this mechanism, when the child uses split-off parts of the self to gain illusory control over the abuser, a process that has been richly described in the psychoanalytic literature as identification with the aggressor (Freud, 1936). When the child internalizes the mental state of the victimizer into the alien part of the self, they experience a part of their own mind as torturing, bent on the destruction of the ego. This leads to an unbearably painful emotional state where the self is experienced as evil and hateful.
