<unk>  is psychological model which considers how<unk>  theory pertains to people’s preferences and expectations for the proximity of others when faced with stress, threat, danger or pain. In 1982 the American Psychiatrist, Lawrence Kolb, noticed that patients with chronic pain displayed behaviours with their healthcare providers akin to what children might display with an<unk>  figure, thus marking one of the first applications of<unk>  theory to physical health. Development of adult<unk>  theory and adult<unk>  measures in the 1990s provided researchers with the means to apply<unk>  theory to health in a more systematic way. Since that time it has been used to understand variation in stress response, health outcomes and health behaviour. Ultimately, the application of<unk>  theory to health care may enable health care practitioners to provide more personalized medicine by creating a deeper understanding of patient distress and allowing clinicians to better meet their needs and expectations.
