John Bowlby's 'Attachment' (1969/1982) 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' that organisms inherit a potential to develop systems suited for, discussed how infant attachment behaviors are components of an attachment system designed to achieve security, explained how attachment behaviors change via feedback from caregivers to become oriented toward discriminated figures, and posited attachment as a foundational system for survival that interacts with other systems like exploration.
