Full textLes enfants placés dans les foyers d'accueil courent un risque élevé de difficultés d'attachement affectif dû au mauvais traitement qu'ils peuvent avoir subi antérieurement, à la séparation de leur parent, ainsi qu'à la possibilité de déménagements répétés entre plusieurs différents foyers. Ceci pose la question : dans quelle mesure les travailleurs sociaux incorporent-ils une théorie de l'attachement affectif dans la planification des soins d'un enfant? Reproduisant une étude menée aux États-Unis par R.K. Grigsby (1994), l'utilisation par les travailleurs sociaux d'une théorie de l'attachement a été examinée par moyen de l'analyse d'un échantillon de trente dossiers d'enfants âgés de 0 à 3 ans et présentement dans des foyers d'accueil des Centres de la jeunesse et de la famille Batshaw. Les résultats de l'analyse démontrent que des concepts liés à l'attachement affectif sont généralement contenus dans la majorité des dossiers, mais que peu des cas poursuivent des évaluations complètes de l'attachement. Les incidences sur la pratique, y compris le besoin d'une augmentation de la formation en attachement, sont aussi considérées.

O presente trabalho tem o intuito de abordar aspectos da Teoria de Apego e dos estudos de apego em adultos. Para tanto, será desenvolvido um pequeno histórico dessa teoria, com seu idealizador John Bowlby, e seus desdobramentos, a partir dos estudos de Mary Ainsworth e Mary Main. A seguir, alguns aspectos do apego em adulto serão abordados, assim como os instrumentos de avaliação do apego em adultos. Por fim, serão discutidos os desdobramentos dos estudos em apego, assim como algumas contribuições das neurociências para o campo do apego, e os modelos de tratamento baseados nessa teoria. Esse delineamento do trabalho abre espaço para discussões futuras quanto à construção das relações de apego na equipe de saúde.
This paper aims to address aspects of Attachment Theory and studies of attachment in adults. Thus, we describe a brief history of this theory, with its founder John Bowlby, and its aftermath, from the studies of Mary Ainsworth and Mary Main. After some aspects of attachment in adults will be addressed, as well as measures of assessment of attachment in adults. Finally, we discuss the ramifications of studies on attachment, as well as the contribution of neuroscience to the field, and treatment models based on this theory. This work is designed to establish further discussion on the construction of attachment relationships in the health care system.

Full textAttachment theory has been applied in examining an individual's relationship with God through various research studies. Few research studies, however, have examined a romantic couples' relationship with God and each other as part of a family system. The purpose of this constructivist grounded theory study was to develop a deeper understanding of the relational system of married couples and God. I interviewed nine marital couples from multiple Christian denominations that reported having a strong relationship with each other and a strong relationship with God together. The interviews were transcribed and analyzed using constructivist grounded theory techniques presented by Charmaz (2006). I analyzed emergent categories of behaviors, emotions, and cognitions to construct a theory and model of marital couples and their shared relationship with God. I compared and contrasted the results and theory to existing literature on attachment theory as well as theology on kinship covenant to demonstrate a shared attachment to God that reflects a covenant attachment system. Finally, I discuss clinical, pastoral and future research implications.

O presente trabalho apresenta um modelo etiológico para a dissociação patológica a partir do referencial conceitual da teoria do apego. Sob esta perspectiva, processos de desorganização do apego e da intersubjetividade são considerados como um trauma oculto . A teoria do apego vem sendo ampliada, a partir de novas ideias e pesquisas sobre intersubjetividade. Nesta ampliação, a teoria passa a enfatizar o papel central de processos intersubjetivos de comunicação afetiva na organização, não apenas do sistema de apego, mas também do self. Estudos longitudinais prospectivos recentes mostram uma relação significativa entre apego desorganizado no bebê e dissociação patológica na vida adulta. Os resultados destas pesquisas, analisados à luz da teoria do apego, sustentam uma proposta de redefinição do trauma nos primeiros anos de vida. As pesquisas atuais sugerem que o estresse gerado por mecanismos sutis de comunicação afetiva disruptiva na díade bebê-cuidador pode gerar processos de desorganização do sistema de apego e do self. Tais processos podem dar início a uma trajetória de desenvolvimento em direção à dissociação patológica.
This dissertation presents an etiological model for pathological dissociation based on attachment theory. From this perspective, attachment and intersubjective disorganization processes may be considered a hidden trauma . The new ideas from intersubjectivity theory and research has widened the scope of attachment theory. This widened version of attachment theory stresses the central role of intersubjective processes, not only in the organization of the attachment system, but also in the organization of the self. Longitudinal prospective studies show a remarkable relation between infant disorganized attachment and pathological dissociation in young adults. The results from these studies, analyzed from an attachment theory perspective, support a proposition for redefinition of early trauma. Current studies suggest that the stress generated by subtle parent-infant disruptive affective communication mechanisms may give rise to disorganization processes that affect the development of the attachment system and of the self. Such processes may be the beginning of a developmental trajectory towards pathological dissociation.

Full textThis thesis seeks to explore the association between ego threat and coping in terms of cognitive strategies and behavioral tendencies. Moreover, the current study is also intended to use attachment dimensions as an underlying mechanism to understand the impact of ego threat on coping. Within the internal working models of attachment theory, the current study seeks to examine two major questions: (1) what strategies individuals use to cope with ego threatening events: and (2) how attachment associates with coping strategies during various ego-threats conditions? The results had a significant impact when individuals were presented with ego threat scenarios suggest that individuals are most likely to use state coping of emotion focused disengagement followed closely by state coping disengagement while experiencing an ego-threat condition. However, all state coping strategies (e.g., state coping engagement, state coping disengagement, state coping problem focused engagement, state coping emotion focused engagement, state coping problem focused disengagement, and state coping emotion focused disengagement) had a significant impact when individuals were presented with ego-threat scenarios. The results of association between attachment dimensions and state coping strategies across ego-threat conditions were not significant. Further this study implies ego-threat conditions make it more likely for individuals to use dysfunctional coping strategies such as state coping disengagement and emotion focused disengagement. Overall, the study has implications for enhancing our understanding of internal working models of attachment and the tendency for ego-threat to impact coping strategies, emphasizes the potency of ego-threatening events as they impact self-view and efficacy of coping solutions.

Full textThis applied theoretical paper explores the underlying capacity for caregivers to raise emotionally intelligent, well-adjusted children who grow up able to respond effectively to the demands of a complex world. A guiding supposition of the research is that diminished access to institutional privilege, especially when unrecognized and unprocessed by caregivers, is likely a risk factor connected to a variety of deleterious outcomes associated with the social determinants of health as defined by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. This connection resulted from asking the question, “How does the underlying capacity for caregivers to understand and manage diverse and complex dimensions of their personal identity, especially in terms of how they relate to institutional power and privilege, serve as a protective factor in meeting the developmental needs of their children for a safe, stable, and nourishing emotional environment?” To answer this question, two well-respected theoretical orientations were identified that each spoke to half of the question, but when brought together, could much more elegantly address many more aspects of the question in an integrated and holistic fashion. Specifically, John Bowlby’s Attachment Theory provided important context as to what developmental needs children have for a safe, stable, and nourishing emotional environment. On the other hand, Jean Baker Miller’s Relational-Cultural Theory was adept at offering a nuanced perspective on understanding diverse and complex dimensions of personal identity, especially as those dimensions interfaced with institutional privilege. Bringing these two perspectives together and synthesizing them into a new approach, an approach named Attachment-Informed Relational-Cultural Therapy, was the culmination of the research. One important outcome of the research was how it framed secure attachment as an unearned privilege (i.e. attachment privilege) that is affected by and simultaneously affects multiple variables in the caregiver and child dyad. These variables can themselves then become either protective factors supporting further secure attachment or risk factors threatening to damage or destroy it. Through the process of linking childhood attachment themes to the theme of access to institutional privilege it is hoped a greater capacity may be achieved for supporting caregivers in understanding and managing diverse and complex dimensions of their personal identity.
