Introduction

This book is a transdisciplinary study involving relationships between neurobiology, affects and emotions into the frame of Affective Neuroscience, to clarify body-mind queries in a scientific way. Being a transdisciplinary study, it will have to deal with problems such as relating  biological, psychological, and emotional aspects of the same phenomenon, which implies that, sometimes, more than one epistemology must be used. The main objects of this study will be the neuropeptide oxytocin, the emotional behavior called attachment, and their relationships in affect regulation. Finally, some psychotherapeutics possibilities using these data will be discussed.
