Uses Within Probation Practice (Edit: Added New Section)

[edit]

Attachment theory has been of special interest within probation settings. When put into practice, probation officers aim to learn their probationer’s attachment history because it can give them insight into how the probationer will respond to different scenarios and when they are the most vulnerable to reoffend. One of the primary strategies of implementation is to set up the probation officer as a secure base. This secure base relationship is formed by the probation officer being reliable, safe, and in tune with the probationer, and is intended to help give them a partly representational secure relationship that they have not been able to form.[1]
