ABSTRACT

The origins of bonds of love can be found in infancy. It is very difficult to identify precisely what love is. We can describe physiological changes people experience when they are in the presence of someone with whom they are infatuated. We can try to describe emotional feelings of security we enjoy when in the company of a loved family member. However, it is difficult to pinpoint what it is that forms the bond of attachment that occurs between human beings which we call love.
