Love and addiction: An uneasy marriage? A response to the devil is in the differences

摘要

We would like to thank Hostetler and Ryabinin for their insightful commentary on our review. We welcome their perspective and believe that it is wholly complementary to our own. In our manuscript, we focused primarily on highlighting the parallels between social attachments and drug addiction. Nonetheless, we agree that examining both the remarkable similarities and detailed differences between these processes is essential for rapid progress in understanding the biology of social relationships and for the development of new treatment strategies for addiction.
