　　We all need to feel understood，recognized and affirmed(证实) by our friends，family and romantic partners.We all need to find our tribe.

　　Research has shown that among the benefits that come with being in a relationship or group，feeling accepted is regarded as the most important driver of meaning.When other people think you matter and treat you as if you matter，you believe you matter，too.

　　Though we all share a need to belong，in the first decades of the 20th century，many influential psychologists and physicians did not acknowledge this fundamental aspect of human nature.The idea that children needed parental love and care to live a full and meaningful life was not only considered medically dangerous，but also dismissed as immoral and disgusting.

As behavioural psychology came into fashion and academic psychologists turned their attention to child­raising，this view shifted and they began to examine and affirm the vital importance of attachment in early life.They discovered that people，whatever their age，needed more than food and shelter to live full and healthy lives.
