Dear Cathy I do not know excaclty in what (research/analytical) contexts you are going to use this concept. My position on it is: I am a clinical anthropologist and co-educte transcultural family therapists. Hence my conception of how people interrelate is interactive and systemic (see below) The 'social bond' is an 'ancient' concept in sociology but as far as I know did Thomas Scheff re-develop the concept interactively (on Bateson and Goffman) in his boek in 1990 and some papers (see below two publications). I think I took theory beyond the social bond and the interactive (and symbolic interaction) by combining anthropological theory with family therapy (Batesionian) theory. This came about during my ten years of clinical fieldwork. I studied multicultural groups of (about 500) young men (with their families/communities) in the Netherlands. (for publications see http://anthropo-gazing.academia.edu/DirckVanBekkum) Central is the dynamic-processual concept of balancing of loyalties in and between humans. This 'root concept', from an Anthropological Gaze people, is part of the ideaa that people (human communities) are 'systemically' driven by evolutionary forces conceptualized by Family & Community Continuity.

(1997). ix 249 pp. http://dx.doi.org/10.1017/CBO9780511549496 Abstract: This book outlines and gives examples of a new approach to research in the human sciences. It puts into practice the recommendation of C. W. Mills, for what he called the exercise of the sociological imagination. It is referred to here as part/whole analysis. The focus of this book is the study of emotions and social bonds and their interrelationships, but it codifies the methodological dimension. The author's goal is to describe an approach to all human research that allows the interpenetration of theory, method, and data in such a way that each equally casts light on the other, generating a theory that is based directly on observations of actual human behavior, both inner experience and outer conduct.
