Scientists from different disciplines, including anthropology,
psychology, psychiatry, pediatrics, neurobiology, endocrinology,
and molecular biology, explore the concepts of attachment and
bonding from varying scientific perspectives. Attachment and
bonding are evolved processes; the mechanisms that permit the
development of selective social bonds are assumed to be very
ancient, based on neural circuitry rooted deep in mammalian
evolution, but the nature and timing of these processes and their
ultimate and proximate causes are only beginning to be understood.
In this Dahlem Workshop Report, scientists from different
disciplines-including anthropology, psychology, psychiatry, and
behavioral biology-come together to explore the concepts of
attachment and bonding from diverse perspectives. In their studies
they seek to understand the causes or the consequences of
attachment and bonding in general and their different qualities in
individual development in particular. They address such questions
as biobehavioral processes in attachment and bonding; early social
attachment and its influences on later patterns of behavior;
bonding later in life; and adaptive and maladaptive (or
pathological) outcomes. The studies confirm that social bonds have
consequences for virtually all aspects of behavior and may be
protective in the face of both physical and emotional challenges.
