What does PDD stand for?
Protest-depair-detachment
Robertson & Bowbly studied: young children separated by their mother for some time. They found there were 3 stages in the child's response to separation which lead to protest-despair-detachment (PDD) model.
What are the 3 stages and how does the child react in each stage?
1.) Protest - Child reaction: which is often intense. The child cries and appears panic stricken.
2.) Despair - Child reaction: total loss of hope. Little intreats in surroundings, and often tries to comfort themselves, sometimes by self rocking.
3.) Detachment - Child reaction: appears to be less distressed but is detached from their surroundings. When the mother reappears little intreats is shown in her.
