Cozolino, Louis J. The Neuroscience of Human Relationships: Attachment and the

Developing Social Brain. New York: Norton, 2006. Print.
1. Description: The author of this source, Louis J. Cozolino, is currently a
psychologist and a psychology professor at the University of Pepperdine. This
source is more or less a textbook, but regardless, it provided meaningful
information pertaining to my subject. His focus appeared solely to be on the
brain and how it developed socially and for what reasons. Development of
communication skills in youth most definitely lies in the hands of the parents,
and without sufficient attention, youth are more prone to attachment
problems in adulthood. In the text, I was able to discover more than what had
actually intended to. Rather than solely the childhood being the reason for
adult-attachment disorders, Cozolino claims that as you progress though life,
actual interaction with people becomes less important, or dependable at
least. In Chriss case, he was still a very young man although I never thought
his actions were necessarily impulsive because he never regretting any of his
decisions.

2. Description:
I actually couldnt find the author for this chapter, because I dont think it had one.
Anyhow, this source was particularly interesting because it questioned the topic
itself throughout the reading. The source questions if attachment disorders actually
exist or not. This was interesting to me because it is a commonly misconception in
our society with the uneducated make bad judgment on people that suffer from
psychological disorders. The only people that truly understand and dont hold a
generalized bias, are those who suffer from the disorder themselves. Someone with
an attachment disorder is will commonly be seen as weird or non-social, when it
fact they possibly be suffering from a psychological issue.

Reactive Attachment Disorder." (2008): 889-896. Print.
3. Description:
This source particularly interesting. The authors compared two different disorders
than produce similar actions and behaviors yet, stem from different causation. The
source introduces Stereotyped Movement Disorder which relies more or less on
intelligence. The chapter states that one who suffers from Stereotyped Movement
Disorder may have been institutionalized as a child, rather than just simply child

neglect. It was intriguing to discover than one two individuals can have the same
behavioral symptoms, though suffer from different disorders.

4. Description:
While examining, Into the Wild, I couldnt help but wonder in the back of my head
would he have made these same decisions if he were have to gotten help. The main
issue probably is that his parents didnt know or think anything was wrong with
Chris. This source also compares two similar disorders, althought they do not have
the same behavioral symptoms. Though, could have Chris been bipolar from the
beginning or not? This source was a bit difficult to make connections because
Bipolar Disorder and Attachment Disorder are arent all that similar. Usually,
medication isnt prescribed for an attachment disorder, even though they still
sometimes are helpful.

5. Description:
This source was very helpful because being that it was more of a medical
website, I was able to get the science behind attachment disorders. The source
claims that many doctors wrongly diagnose attachment disorders in children.
Just because theyre learning the ropes of the world, every time they do
something out of the ordinary, it doesnt mean that they have an attachment
disorder. Though this source wasnt as helpful as I thought because again,
Chriss parents never considered anything to be wrong with him until he actually
left and didnt notify anyone. It would have been a bit difficult for Chris to be
treated medically if his parents didnt recognize the attachment issues he had.
