Cassidy, Jude
Developmental Psychology, v39 n3 p409-12 May 2003
Highlights usefulness of the categorical approach to measuring infant attachment by reviewing some major advances in the field that have been fostered by that approach. Advances include identification of the disorganized attachment group, development of the concept of conditional behavior strategies, creation of systems for coding attachment beyond infancy, and a greater understanding of cross-generational associations.
