Hi Tim: I just read the article and got something different from it; I read it as stating that some of the stories selected for verification have been verified; those that have not, were not for good reasons; and the reporter himself is standing by his innocence, and not admitting to

Hello, I am one of the people who wrote their dissertations on attachment (and evolutionary psychology) so I thought I'd pass along a little information on this topic. In many ways, I do see attachment theory as an operationalization of Freud (our childhood haunts us). However, some of the
