Zeanah, Charles H.; Gleason, Mary Margaret – Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 2015
Background: Though noted in the clinical literature for more than 50 years, attachment disorders have been studied systematically only recently.

In…

Ostler, Teresa – ZERO TO THREE, 2014
Personal names are more than just a sound or word. From the earliest stages of development, names are closely connected to a child's attachment figures and sense of identity.
