attachment theory is the bond you make with your mother as a infant. no bond then you find youself unhinged in society. Read "our need for others and its roots in infancy"

Attachment Theory says an infant must grow "attached" emotionally to at least one adult for the child to be healthy, the person is ussually a caregiver.

Another attachment theory is known as Stockholm Syndrome, this happens in cases of abduction where the abductee grows an attachment to their captor.

It's too large of a topic to go into in detail - it involves how a child forms attachments to their care-givers. Try googling : "attachment theory simplypsychology".

John Bowlby posited that attachment is the result of evolutionary pressure placed on primate infants to increase their survival rate. Attachment theory prompts the infant to seek proximity with a familiar caregiver when they feel threatened or in danger.
