Camilla Chams approaches attachment as a synonym for love, liking, affiliation. Attachment has recently been launched as a keyword for the humanities and for literary studies (Felski, 2008, 2015). In psychology, however, attachment is a more complex form of human relationship involving both cognitive and emotional development, and physical survival (Bowlby, 1979).

Camilla Chams, Francisco Pons  and Karine P. Viana draw on developmental psychology and cognitive literary studies and investigate the mother-child attachment relationship in novels by Hanne Ørstavik and Elena Ferrante.
