Rosemary and David are a young military couple, who just had their first child. Unfortunately, David was recently deployed to a foreign country and is not able to return to the United States for three months. He is very sad that he will not see his daughter for the first three months of her life. Rosemary would love to stay home full time with her new daughter, but financially she needs to work. In fact, Rosemary averages 50 hours per week at her job as the assistant manager of the theater in a nearby town. Jobs in her area are still hard to find, so Rosemary is willing to make the 45-minute drive to the theater. Unfortunately, the long work hours and commute limit the amount of time Rosemary can spend with her newborn daughter. She has a close friend who takes care of her daughter when she is at work. Rosemary fears she will not bond with her daughter and their relationship will always lack closeness. According to ethological or attachment theorists, what might be the concerns regarding Rosemary's inability to spend quality time with her newborn? Also, based on Erik Erikson's psychosocial theory, what might be a concern for the child's psychosocial development?
What will be an ideal response?
