Abstract

This article addresses core concepts of John Bowlby's attachment theory, underscoring the mechanism of primary drive reduction in the context of real-life events. We highlight Ainsworth's contribution to attachment theory and present her major advances such as the Strange Situation Procedure. We also review recent research including disorganized attachment, goal-corrected partnerships and attachment assessments through the life span, antecedents of attachment security/insecurity, the concept of maternal sensitivity, continuity and longitudinal correlates of attachment across the life span, attachment and genetics, and attachment-based interventions.
