Generally, attachment usually refers to a relationship with one care-giver to one child. A child, or adult for that matter, can however, have many attachments.

Attachment between a parent and child, in psychology, is usually referred to as being secure, or insecure. Insecure attachments are also broken down into 3 more categories: avoidant, ambivalent, and disorganized.

If you are referring to the overall attachment patterns between members of a family, secure attachment patterns are the best type to have.
