Abstract
Two considerations have been proposed in the commentary: the first concerns the different meanings of the attachment construct – i.e., motivational system, specific bond, etc. – of which those who works in the field of child protection should be informed; the second concerns the possibility of carrying out multi-method assessments of the attachment of children, which allow us to grasp the complexity of their inner world, reducing the risks of simplification.
