| Description: |
Recent neuroscience has demonstrated unequivocally that quality of caregiving influences the developing stress response system of the infant. Disorganized attachment processes, in particular, have been related to altered stress hormone responses in infancy. This program will first review the developmental emergence and transformation of disorganized attachment strategies from infancy to adulthood, with an emphasis on how these relate to trauma, dissociation, and severe personality disorder in recent longitudinal studies. The emergence of controlling attachment behaviors over the preschool years and their relation to role-confused parental stances will be described. We will then consider parental responses to trauma, and their relation to hostile-helpless relational dynamics. Finally, a clinical framework for identifying and disentangling the hostile-helpless attachment processes in disturbed parent-child relationships will be outlined, using relevant case material. |
