In this special issue paper we reflect on the next generation of attachment research with a focus on disorganization, a central but still poorly understood topic in this area. We suggest that progress will be facilitated by a return to attachment theory's evolutionary roots, and to the emphasis on biological function that inspired Bowlby's original thinking. Increased interdisciplinary cross-fertilization and collaborations would enable novel and generative research on some of the long-standing questions surrounding attachment disorganization. Accordingly, we present an agenda for future research that encompasses contributions of modern ethology and neurobiology, novel hypotheses based on the concept of adaptive decanalization, connections with neurodevelopmental vulnerability and risk for mental disorders such as schizophrenia, and the possibility of sex differences in the behavioral manifestations of attachment disorganization. We believe that these avenues of theory and research offer exciting potential for innovative work in attachment disorganization in the years ahead.
在本期特刊论文中，我们反思了下一代依恋研究，重点关注失调，这是该领域的一个核心但仍未被充分理解的主题。我们认为，通过回归依恋理论的进化根源，以及回归启发了鲍尔比最初思想的对生物功能的强调，将有助于取得进展。增加跨学科的交叉和合作，将能够对围绕依恋失调的一些长期存在的问题进行新颖和有成效的研究。因此，我们提出了一个未来研究议程，包括现代行为学和神经生物学的贡献、基于适应性去抑制概念的新假设、与神经发育脆弱性和精神障碍（如精神分裂症）风险的联系，以及依恋失调的行为表现中可能存在的性别差异。我们相信，这些理论和研究途径为未来依恋失调的创新性工作提供了令人兴奋的潜力。
