Group report : biobehavioral processes in attachment and bonding / J.F. Leckman, C.S. Carter, M.B. Hennessy, S.B. Hrdy, E.B. Keverne, G. Klann-Delius, C. Schradin, D. Todt and D. von Holst -- 16. Group report : early social attachment and its consequences : the dynamics of a developing relationship / R.A. Thompson, K. Braun, K.E. Grossmann, M.R. Gunnar, M. Heinrichs, H. Keller, T.G. O'Connor, G. Spangler, E. Voland and S. Wang -- 17. Group report : beyond infant attachment : the origins of bonding in later life / C.A. Pedersen, L. Ahnert, G. Anzenberger, J. Belsky, P. Draper, A.S. Fleming, K. Grossmann, N. Sachser, S. Sommer, D.P. Tietze and L.J. Young -- 18. Group report : adaptive and maladaptive outcomes / G.W. Kraemer, M.E. Lamb, G.A. Liotti, K. Lyons-Ruth, G. Meinlschmidt, A. Scholmerich, M. Steele and C. Trevarthen.
Summary: 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.
