Résumé
The attachment theory states that human beings have in parallel an attachment system, an exploratory system and a caregiving system. The caregiving system is the counterpart of both the attachment and the exploratory systems. The caregiving system consists of providing safe haven to which the individual can go back when feeling threatened, and a secure base from which he/she can explore the environment. The caregiving system can also be experienced in the doctor-patient relationship. To be a care provider means to be available when one is most needed. Attachment patterns influence the doctor's relationships, affecting the adherence and the illness management. Taking care of his/her patients in times of need is equivalent to activate the doctor's own caregiving system to protect and secure the patient's health and wellbeing. An open and available doctor means a more open, present, secure and confident patient.
