A weakness of the maternal deprivation theory ?

-Socially sensitive -Bowlby states that if the mother is no present within the first 2 sensitive years of a child's life, this will not allow them to form a monotropic bond with their mother. Without this, it causes problmes for the rest of the child's life, placing sole blame on the mother. -It can be said that the theory lacks temporal validity seeing as the results cannot be applied to society nowadays, this can be by more mother going to work earlier and different types of families (same-sex families and single-fathers) and ther children are fine -Therefore, could cause ethical implications seeing as the theory negatively impact working class mothers from receiving childcare if the child is under 5 years old as well as being used against men and gender roles.
