The effects of premature birth on attachment have generally been examined from the infant's perspective. There is a lack data concerning parental representations toward child. Because psychological stress engendered in parents confronted with birth, we hypothesized that their would be altered during first months after hospital discharge. Fifty families infant (25-33 gestation weeks) and control group 30 full-term participated to study. Perinatal risks were evaluated hospitalization. To...

Abstract In the present article on intergenerational transmission of attachment representations, we use mothers' and fathers' Adult Attachment Interview classifications to predict a 3-year-old's responses Story Completion Task (ASCT). We Q-sort coding procedure for ASCT, which was developed children as young three. The yields scores four dimensions (security, deactivation, hyperactivation, disorganization). One-way ANOVAs revealed significant mother-child associations each dimension,...

The Attachment Multiple Model Interview (AMMI) was developed to assess internal working models (IWMs) of specific relationships in adulthood (e.g., with mother, father, and romantic partner). In an initial effort validate the AMMI, interview administered participants who were followed from age 4 23. ANOVA contrast tests confirmed AMMI's capacity discriminate between partner IWMs. AMMI security each parent correlated coherence according Adult Interview, disorganization mother unresolved...

Several researchers point to disorganized attachment as a core feature of borderline personality disorder (BPD). However, recent studies suggest that specific internal working models (IWMs) each parent combine account for child outcomes and secure relationship with one can protect against the deleterious effects an insecure other parent. It was thus hypothesized adolescents BPD are more likely be both their parents, whereas non-clinical controls at least caregivers. Thirty-six 30 control...

Childhood maltreatment (CM) is associated with disorganized attachment which, in turn, linked to a range of negative outcomes including posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). When within the family leads out-of-home placement, examining effects multiple relationships on children's seems appropriate. This study examined whether (a) each biological parent mediates association between CM and PTSD (b) foster mitigates parents PTSD. Ninety-six adults placed during childhood responded Attachment...

This study aimed test a model according which influence on development BPD adolescence is mediated by alexithymia. Borderline severity was assessed means Structured Interview DSM-IV Personality Disorders. Attachment alexithymia were measured respectively with Relationship Styles Questionnaire Toronto...

Researchers have repeatedly found that intergenerational transmission of attachment is more robust in mother-child dyads than it father-child dyads. They proposed several explanations for the inconsistent findings, including use strange situation procedure, young age children, and fact fathers are often less involved early caregiving mothers. The authors aimed to investigate when conditions present may heighten likelihood such a transmission. Thus, assessed 16 married 12 divorced who had...

In the context of a French validation study, Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) was administered to more than 3000 speaking mothers 5-year-old children. Scores were factor-analyzed. Principal components analysis revealed four dimensions: externalizing and internalizing behavior problems, immaturity somatoform disorders. Another sample 40 participated in longitudinal filling CBCL when their children 5 years old. These had been observed previously Strange Situation (SSP) at 21 months. Several...

Parents’ providers’ representations values concerning their ideal definition child were assessed, direct observations settings conducted, using a time-sampling procedure. The instruments both have seven dimension structure: caregiver availability, stimulation, firmness, warmth, autonomy, achievement, organisation. When children 3 years age, the...

Abstract Some authors argue that both substance dependence and eating disorders should be considered as dependent behaviours. Similarities differences between these disorders, however, remain unclear. This study compares processes of emotion regulation in adolescents young adults (15 to 25 years old) with (SD) or (ED). One hundred thirteen SD, 50 ED 86 non‐clinical subjects (NC), recruited four French Swiss locations, completed a self‐report questionnaire strategies. addresses the subjects'...

BDI-13 was used to measure depressive symptomatology. Consistent literature, BDI associated attachment. They also related avoidant confirming Bowlby's theory defensive...

Yet, before the age 4, it appears that rely more on their attachment figure than representational assuage distress. The study was aimed at testing whether 3‐year‐olds' narrative features Attachment Story Completion Task (ASCT) could predict concurrent internalizing problems assessed by mothers' and fathers' ratings child, using Child Behaviour Checklist....
