Cupboard Love Definition
Cupboard love theory or theory of secondary drive - relationship dependent on the fact that the mother feeds the child, prevailing in psychoanalysis and learning theory of 1940s and 1950s

Bowlby objects to this view, instead states: "Most of what goes on in the internal world is a more of less accurate reflection of what an individual has experienced in the external world. If a child sees his mother as a very loving person, the changes are his mother is a loving person. If he sees her as a rejecting person, she is a very rejecting person" (bowlby, figlio, and young, 1986, p.43)
