In the volume 'Attachment' (1969/1982), John Bowlby provided evidence for the importance of early parent-child relationships, analyzed the systemic and 'goal-corrected' nature of behavior, introduced the concept of an 'environment of adaptedness,' discussed how infant attachment behaviors are designed to achieve security, explained how attachment behaviors are oriented toward discriminated figures via caregiver feedback, and posited attachment as a foundational survival system that interacts with exploration.
