Mary Ainsworth identified two types of insecure attachment in infants: avoidant attachment (sometimes referred to as "dismissive attachment") and anxious-ambivalent attachment (sometimes referred to as "preoccupied attachment"). These types of attachment are different from secure attachment, in which infants are able to seek comfort from their caregivers when needed and feel secure in their presence.
