Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume showcases the latest theoretical and empirical work from some of the top scholars in attachment. Extending classic themes and describing important new applications, the book examines several ways in which attachment processes help explain how people think, feel, and behave in different situations and at different stages in the life cycle. Topics include the effects of early experiences on adult relationships; new developments in neuroscience and genetics; attachment orientations and parenting; connections between attachment and psychopathology, as well as health outcomes; and the relationship of attachment theory and processes to clinical interventions.
Download or read book Evaluating the Interplay Between Attachment and Resilience on Adult Relationships written by and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 45 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present study aims to gain a deeper understanding of adult attachment, relational maintenance behaviors, and resilience in relation to adolescent friendships and romantic relationships. More specifically, within a population of adolescents who experienced frequent childhood non-routine school displacements. It is obvious that when children leave their current peer group due to these frequent displacements a disruption in the development of childhood relationships will occur, but less is known about the effects the displacements have on later adult relationships. Among the numerous factors that could contribute to how an adult may deal with this type of upbringing, a few specific variables were examined. Participants also must have been in at least one romantic relationship, even if it was no longer an active relationship and be able to report on one friendship. A total of N = 345 participants were surveyed using a cross-sectional questionnaire style survey. First, adult attachment theory was used to understand the effects of non-routine school changes and distance moved. Hypothesis examining non-routine school changes was partially supported and hypothesis two examining distance moved was not supported. Anxiety emerged as significantly correlated with non-routine school changes but not with distance moved. Avoidance was not significantly correlated with non-routine school changes or distance moved. In hypothesis three and four, resiliency was used as a moderating variable between the effect of non-routine school changes and attachment anxiety and avoidance as well as distance moved and attachment anxiety and avoidance. Hypothesis three examining nonroutine school changes was conditionally supported and hypothesis four was not supported. Hypothesis five and six examined the mediating effect of relational maintenance behaviors on attachment anxiety and avoidance and relational satisfaction and friendship validation and caring. Both hypotheses were supported with relational maintenance behaviors partially mediating the relationship between anxiety and relational satisfaction/friendship validation and caring and fully mediated the relationship between avoidance and relational satisfaction/friendship validation and caring. Implications for this study include adding to the relational maintenance literature and furture directions include examining the physiological consequences utilizing a longitudinal study.

Download or read book Strengthening Families written by Amy L. Curtis and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Faith-based ministries and non-profit organizations focused on strengthening families and family preservation may wrap services around families, but may underestimate the intergenerational impact of childhood adversity and trauma on the family system. Understanding the neurological, educational, and health outcomes as a result of adverse childhood experiences is key to developing evidenced-based, therapeutic programs to best assist clients in strengthening the internal protective factors of hope, resilience, spirituality, and attachment, in an effort to avoid harmful intergenerational beliefs, attitudes, actions, and habits following their exit from programs. The aim of this online, mixed methods study was to examine the relationship between adverse childhood experiences and the internal protective factors of hope, resilience, spirituality, and attachment, through the lens of Attachment theory (Bowlby, 1957) and Resiliency theory (Walsh, 1996). The data collected in this study were obtained through participants in the Buckner Children and Family Services, Inc. Family Pathways Program. Participants were single parents, enrolled in a higher education program, between the ages of 18-45 years of age, male or female, and a resident at one of eight Family Pathways locations in Texas. The voluntary, confidential study was accessed online and consisted of questions from: a demographic questionnaire; the Adverse Childhood Experiences Questionnaire (ACES-Q), the Adult Hope Scale (AHS); the Resilience Scale (RS); the Spiritual Well-Being Scale (SWBS); and the Revised Adult Attachment Scale (RAAS). In addition, a total of five qualitative questions, one after each of the quantitative inventories, gathered additional insight from the participant's viewpoint and responses were coded into themes. Pearson product-moment correlation analysis was used to examine the relationship between adversity and the internal protective factors of hope, resilience, spirituality and attachment. A response rate of 38% was achieved from a total of 134 possible participants. Yet, their demographic variables were representative of the overall program demographics. The respondents scored higher than the national average (12.5%) in overall ACEs scores with 60.8% of the population scoring 4 or more. The results of the quantitative data revealed that those with higher ACEs scores also had increased attachment anxiety. In the domain of ACEs Abuse, those who suffered physical, verbal, or sexual abuse as a child had a weak to moderate negative correlation with Hope, the subscale of Hope Pathway, Spirituality, the subscale of Spirituality Existential, and a strong negative correlation with the subscales of Attachment Depend and Attachment Close. Those who experienced greater Household Dysfunction correlated positively with Resilience. Qualitative data identified strength-based themes of responsibility for self and others, sense of community, and personal relationship with God. Adversity-based themes included feeling unprotected and alone (primarily related to childhood Household Dysfunction), having few choices, and a lack of trust in self, others, and religious institutions. The implications of the data yielded from this study encourage counseling programs to focus on promotive factors in order to build on strengths, such as building attachment security, increasing the capacity for resilience and hope, increasing opportunities to engage positively with others, and psychoeducational programs aimed at providing trauma-informed interpersonal and intrapersonal awareness and best parenting practices.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Objective: The health risks associated with adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) among different age groups in adults has been widely studied in recent years. Adults with ACEs are more likely to develop mental health concerns including feelings of loneliness; however, there has been limited research focusing on young adults. The purpose of this study was to better understand the relationship between ACEs and loneliness by examining insecure attachment patterns (anxious and avoidant) as potential mediators. The study also investigated whether positive traits such as resilience buffered the association between ACEs and loneliness through insecure attachment. Method: Young adults aged 18 to 30 (N = 203) from the community provided self- ratings of ACEs, two dimensions of adult attachment, resilience, and loneliness. Parallel mediation and moderated mediation analyses were conducted. Results: Anxious attachment style in adults were statistically significant, mediating the relationship between ACEs and loneliness; however, avoidant attachment style was non-significant. Furthermore, resilience was a significant moderator of the mediated relationship associated with ACEs and anxious attachment patterns. Conclusion: Individuals with more ACEs experienced greater loneliness as young adults, which was explained by anxious attachment patterns in adult close relationships. Interestingly, this pathway depends on the individual's level of resilience or their attitude towards adversity. Young adults with lower resilience were more likely to have an anxious attachment style after having suffered ACEs and thus were more likely to experience loneliness. The findings suggest the possibility that intervention and policy directed towards enhancing resilience among youth who experience childhood adversity may play a role in reducing loneliness.

Download or read book Rethinking Attachment for Early Childhood Practice written by Sharne A Rolfe and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-08-05 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sharne Rolfe brings an excellent discussion of attachment principles, research and applications to an exceedingly important topic, the relationships between child care teachers/providers and young children. It is a important resource for the current and next generation of early childhood professionals and researchers, and it will be a key resource for the growing international discussion about child care teacher/provider and child relationships.' Helen H. Raikes, PhD, The Gallup Organization, and Society for Research in Child Development Consultant, Administration for Children and Families, USA a timely synthesis of current knowledge concerning attachment and its implications for contemporary practice.highly relevant for use in college and university early childhood programs and a valuable resource for directors and staff in children's services' Alan Hayes, Professor of Early Childhood Studies, Macquarie University particularly valuable in highlighting the crucial importance of taking a relationship-based approach when working with young children.' Pam Linke, Manager, Centre for Parenting, Child and Youth Health, South Australia This accessible and lively exploration of the importance of attachment for infants, young children and their parents, should be essential reading for all professional caregivers and for policy makers concerned with the mental health and well being of our future generation.' Ruth Schmidt Neven, Director, Centre for Child and Family Development In heated debates about whether childcare damages young children, attachment theory has been seen as anti-childcare'. Rolfe rethinks this perception, demonstrating instead that understanding attachment is essential to good childcare practice. Rethinking Attachment offers a thorough explanation of attachment theory and explains how security, autonomy and resilience in young children can be promoted in childcare settings through a sound understanding of attachment principles. With examples drawn from practice, Rolfe examines the relationships between children and their carers, between parents and carers, and between carers themselves. She also shows how secure attachment relationships with parents and carers influence transitions to childcare, preschool and school.
Download or read book A Secure Base written by John Bowlby and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-11-12 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As Bowlby himself points out in his introduction to this seminal childcare book, to be a successful parent means a lot of very hard work. Giving time and attention to children means sacrificing other interests and activities, but for many people today these are unwelcome truths. Bowlby’s work showed that the early interactions between infant and caregiver have a profound impact on an infant's social, emotional, and intellectual growth. Controversial yet powerfully influential to this day, this classic collection of Bowlby’s lectures offers important guidelines for child rearing based on the crucial role of early relationships.
Download or read book Patterns of Attachment written by Mary D. Salter Ainsworth and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2015-06-26 with total page 514 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ethological attachment theory is a landmark of 20th century social and behavioral sciences theory and research. This new paradigm for understanding primary relationships across the lifespan evolved from John Bowlby’s critique of psychoanalytic drive theory and his own clinical observations, supplemented by his knowledge of fields as diverse as primate ethology, control systems theory, and cognitive psychology. By the time he had written the first volume of his classic Attachment and Loss trilogy, Mary D. Salter Ainsworth’s naturalistic observations in Uganda and Baltimore, and her theoretical and descriptive insights about maternal care and the secure base phenomenon had become integral to attachment theory. Patterns of Attachment reports the methods and key results of Ainsworth’s landmark Baltimore Longitudinal Study. Following upon her naturalistic home observations in Uganda, the Baltimore project yielded a wealth of enduring, benchmark results on the nature of the child’s tie to its primary caregiver and the importance of early experience. It also addressed a wide range of conceptual and methodological issues common to many developmental and longitudinal projects, especially issues of age appropriate assessment, quantifying behavior, and comprehending individual differences. In addition, Ainsworth and her students broke new ground, clarifying and defining new concepts, demonstrating the value of the ethological methods and insights about behavior. Today, as we enter the fourth generation of attachment study, we have a rich and growing catalogue of behavioral and narrative approaches to measuring attachment from infancy to adulthood. Each of them has roots in the Strange Situation and the secure base concept presented in Patterns of Attachment. It inclusion in the Psychology Press Classic Editions series reflects Patterns of Attachment’s continuing significance and insures its availability to new generations of students, researchers, and clinicians.
Download or read book Anxiety and Cognition written by Michael Eysenck and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2014-01-21 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is argued in this book that there are three major approaches to anxiety. First, there is anxiety as an emotional state. Second, there is trait anxiety as a dimension of personality. Third, there is anxiety as a set of anxiety disorders. What is attempted is to produce a unified theory of anxiety which integrates all these major approaches. According to this unified theory, there are four sources of information which influence the level of experienced anxiety: (1) experimental stimulation; (2) internal physiological activity; (3) internal cognitions, (e.g., worries); and (4) one's own behaviour. The unified theory is essentially based on a cognitive approach. More specifically, it is assumed that individual differences in experienced anxiety between those high and low in trait anxiety depend largely on cognitive biases. It is also assumed that the various anxiety disorders depend on cognitive biases, and that the main anxiety disorders differ in terms of the source of information most affected by such biases (e.g., social phobics have biased interpretation of their own behaviour). In sum, this book presents a general theory of anxiety from the cognitive perspective. It is intended that this theory will influence theory and research on emotion, personality, and the anxiety disorders.

Book excerpt: A practical translation of the principles of attachment theory to non-monogamous relationships. Attachment theory has entered the mainstream, but most discussions focus on how we can cultivate secure monogamous relationships. What if, like many people, you're striving for secure, happy attachments with more than one partner? Polyamorous psychotherapist Jessica Fern breaks new ground by extending attachment theory into the realm of consensual non-monogamy. Using her nested model of attachment and trauma, she expands our understanding of how emotional experiences can influence our relationships. Then, she sets out six specific strategies to help you move toward secure attachments in your multiple relationships. Polysecureis both a trailblazing theoretical treatise and a practical guide. It provides non-monogamous people with a new set of tools to navigate the complexities of multiple loving relationships, and offers radical new concepts that are sure to influence the conversation about attachment theory.
Download or read book Attachment Issues in Psychopathology and Intervention written by Leslie Atkinson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2003-12-08 with total page 517 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To be a human being (or indeed to be a primate) is to be attached to other fellow beings in relationships, from infancy on. This book examines what happens when the mechanisms of early attachment go awry, when caregiver and child do not form a relationship in which the child finds security in times of uncertainty and stress. Although John Bowlby, a psychiatrist and psychoanalyst, originally formulated attachment theory for the express purpose of understanding psychopathology across the life span, the concept of attachment was first adopted by psychologists studying typical development. In recent years, clinicians have rediscovered the potential of attachment theory to help them understand psychological/psychiatric disturbance, a potential that has now been amplified by decades of research on typical development. Attachment Issues in Psychopathology and Intervention is the first book to offer a comprehensive overview of the implications of current attachment research and theory for conceptualizing psychopathology and planning effective intervention efforts. It usefully integrates attachment considerations into other frameworks within which psychopathology has been described and points new directions for investigation. The contributors, who include some of the major architects of attachment theory, link what we have learned about attachment to difficulties across the life span, such as failure to thrive, social withdrawal, aggression, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, dissociation, trauma, schizo-affective disorder, narcissistic personality disorder, eating disorders, and comorbid disorders. While all chapters are illuminated by rich case examples and discuss intervention at length, half focus solely on interventions informed by attachment theory, such as toddler-parent psychotherapy and emotionally focused couples therapy. Mental health professionals and researchers alike will find much in this book to stimulate and facilitate effective new approaches to their work.
