Attachment theory began with evolutionary psychologist John Bowlby in 1969. Attachment theory was initially grounded in the observation that human beings appear to be born with an innate psychobiological system (the "attachment behavioral system") that motivates them to seek proximity to significant others ("attachment figures"). This revolutionary theory has found application in topics such as friendships, romantic relationships, coping with stress, loneliness and grief.
