Abstract
This chapter will present a brief summary of the basic concepts and empirical findings of attachment research, as they have emerged in the past decades. This chapter is designed to refresh the memory of the reader with a background in psychology but no expertise in attachment theory and also to introduce other social scientists to the field. It is hoped that this will enable non-specialists to follow the arguments that unfold in the subsequent chapters.
