Disruption of attachment and traumatic disorder of development
Main Article Content
Abstract
Quality development of family members depends on the quality of relationships they have established. From this developmental perspective the early parent-child interactions are a central aspect of Bowlby’s attachment theory. Mary Ainsworth allows us to establish a classification of attachment behaviors and Main and Solomon bring us under the name of disorganized attachment more complex and disturbing profiles of relations between parents and children. These relationships should be asymmetric and have a unique sense. In this paper we show the contributions related to disorganized attachment, its relationship to personality development and the need to collect diagnostic criteria when traumatic experiences are repeated, cumulative and occurred long before the recognition of symptoms.
