    Coan and his colleagues simulated a stressful situation by telling them that they were about to receive a very mild electric shock.

    Well before brain imaging technology was developed, John Bowlby understood that our need for someone to share our lives with is part of our genetic makeup and has nothing to do with how much we love ourselves or how fulfilled we feel on our own.
