]]> Comment on Revising Maslow’s Hierarchy for a Socially-Connected World by Jonathan Harris http://mprcenter.org/blog/2012/04/21/revising-maslows-hierarchy-for-a-socially-connected-world/comment-page-1/#comment-2001 Jonathan Harris Sun, 22 Apr 2012 12:14:28 +0000 http://mprcenter.org/blog/?p=1410#comment-2001 Yes, social connection does precede food and shelter. John Bowlby, drawing upon Konrad Lorenz and the Harlows wrote extensively about this in volume 1 of Attachment and Loss in 1969, and subsequently in attachment theory in general. Development of his work has been especially important in the treatments for trauma, which attacks our connection to others as well as internally. I have long found it surprising that humanists follow (or swallow) the heirarchy of needs so readily, when it reserves love to the upper realms of the pyramid, rather than being its base. But perhaps that was a common scientific approach at the time, and at least Maslow got millions of people going in the right direction, if not from the right starting point.
