It is suggested that the complexities entailed in an analysis of life-span attachment require consideration of so many interacting variables that a systems approach of some kind is needed for a beginning integration. It is further proposed that multilevel structural analyses will provide higher level descriptions and thus will serve a useful discovery function. It seems unnecessary to abandon a personalogic orientation but rather to attempt careful, longitudinal, structural descriptions of intraindividual attachment behaviors as they relate to personality variables, cognitive and state changes, and alterations in the structure of the personal-social and object environments. It seems essential to construct process models which reflect these complexities
