Abstract
Referring to the existing attachment literature, but also to studies from other relevant social science fields, this book has presented a rationale in support of the concept of collective attachment. In particular, the book has put forward two main arguments: first, that the main protecting and security-bearing element of the human social group is the set of ideological assumptions and their institutional applications that prevail in that group; and, second, that emotional engagement with those ideological and institutional elements does not only occur at the level of the individual or the dyadic relationship, but also at the level of the group as the group collectively constructs its ideology and social institutions.
