Which of the following is the correct order of stages of distress according to psychoanalyst John Bowlby?

I. Detachment
II. Protest
III. Despair
  1. II, III, I
  2. III, I, II
  3. I, II, III
  4. III, II, I
Explanation
Answer: A - The correct order of the stages of distress (Bowlby) is: (II) Protest; (III) Despair; and, (I) Detachment.

Bowlby postulated that our need to attach to a main or central figure (i.e. mother, father, etc.) is innate. When we separate from this figure the stages of distress (as observed in children) include, in order, protest, despair and finally detachment.
