Abstract

This essay assumes an historical perspective intended to highlight the major contributions of Seymour "Gig" Levine to the conceptual scaffold that guides so much of the current research in development and psychopathology. I suggest that perhaps Levine's most important contribution was to establish an experimental framework that served to transition the clinical observations of Freud and the attachment theories of Bowlby into modern Psychology/Psychiatry.
