Answer:

Attachment theory

Step-by-step explanation:

The attachment theory teaches us that the relationship that exists between a child and his parents or caregiver has an effect on his development and latter relationship with others. It talks about an emotional bond with another person.

John's predicament is obviously explained by this theory because we have been told that he cannot sustain relationship because he did not have any form of attachment with his adopted mother.
