“…Interpersonal difficulties are often associated with high relapse rates and poor recovery rates through a negative impact on social relationships, support networks and coping strategies (Dilillo, 2001;Platts et al 2002;Cohen et al 2004). This may help to explain why childhood trauma survivors often experience poorer clinical outcomes and are at increased risk of relapse and reduced recovery from psychiatric illness.…”

Objectives. This study explores rates of a history of childhood trauma in adult patients with bipolar disorder and depression and the impact of such trauma and parental bonding patterns on depressive mood and interpersonal functioning at the time of assessment. Methods.A cross-sectional design was used and a sample of 49 participants was recruited from a mental health outpatient service in Northern Ireland. Data were subject to correlations, one-way analysis of variance and hierarchal regression analyses. A cut-off point of r = ± 0.25 was used to select variables for inclusion in the hierarchal regression analyses.Results. High rates of childhood trauma were present in both samples: 74% in bipolar disorder and 82% in depression. Childhood trauma and poor parental bonding (with mother) were significant predictors of higher rates of current inter-episode depressive mood and interpersonal difficulties.Conclusions. This finding adds to the evidence that routine assessment of early childhood experience is likely to prove helpful in clinical care.

“…Although different theories may use different terms, such as core assumptions (Janoff-Bulman, 1992), existential beliefs (Yalom, 1980), schema's (Beck, 1970) or internal working models (Bowlby, 1969), mental representations refer to the unquestioned beliefs that constitute the bedrock of our cognitive-emotional world (Platts, Tyson, & Mason, 2002). Internal working models of attachment are a specifi c set of mental representations about the self in interaction with others.…”

In accordance with attachment theory, the present study investigates whether internal working models of attachment mediated the association between childhood memories and satisfaction about life in adulthood. A convenient sample of 437 participants completed questionnaires assessing a broad range of childhood memories, working models of attachment and life satisfaction. After controlling for demographics, relational status and living condition, Baron and Kenny's mediation criteria were met for the association between memories about childhood, adult attachment and life satisfaction. That is, family warmth and harmony and parental support were associated with attachment security while parental rejection and adverse childhood events (e.g., abuse, parental psychopathology) were associated with an insecure attachment style. More securely attached individuals were in turn more satisfied about their current life than insecurely attached individuals. Sobel test confirmed these findings. These finding are in accordance with attachment theory and highlight the importance of this theory for understanding how early childhood experiences may impact adult life.

“…Estes padrões formam-se a partir das expectativas do sujeito acerca das respostas prováveis da figura de vinculação geradas nas interacções precoces, mais tarde representadas cognitivamente nos internal working models (Bowlby, 1973). São estes modelos que determinam o comportamento e as expectativas nos relacionamentos na vida adulta (Platts, Tyson, & Mason, 2002).…”

“…A falta de confiança, aliada à necessidade de proximidade, faz com que se tornem excessivamente envolvidos, mas que, ao mesmo tempo, dificilmente sejam considerados uma base segura. O padrão de vinculação insegura-ansiosa leva ainda a comportamentos de dependência em relação ao parceiro, bem como a sentimentos de mal-estar e baixa auto-estima (Platts et al, 2002). Este padrão desencadeia comportamentos pouco assertivos, tanto por défice como por excesso de comportamentos de procura e prestação de cuidados.…”

ResumoNeste artigo propõe-se uma contribuição da teoria da vinculação na compreensão dos processos de adaptação dos adultos ao seu divórcio e como a desvinculação ao ex-cônjuge interfere na coparentalidade pós-divórcio. Este artigo formula duas hipóteses teóricas. A primeira hipótese afirma que o divórcio, enquanto processo relacional, deve ser lido como um momento de perda que germina reacções psicológicas similares às experienciadas pelos viúvos, tal como descreve Bowlby no modelo de perda da figura de vinculação, estando dependente dos estilos de vinculação dos adultos. A segunda hipótese sustenta que a coparentalidade pós-divórcio é predita pelos estilos de vinculação e pela qualidade da reorganização da vinculação dos pais. Finalmente, uma integração teórica é apresentada, operacionalizada numa proposta de investigação futura neste domínio. Palavras-chave: Divórcio; Vinculação; Psicopatologia; Adaptação; Coparentalidade. AbstractIn this article, it is proposed the contribution of the attachment theory for understanding adults' adjustment processes to their divorce and how detachment to ex-spouse can infer in co-parenting relationships after marital dissolution. This article makes two theoretical assumptions that focus on two dimensions. The first hypothesis states that the divorce, while a relational process, should be read as a moment of loss that germinates similar psychological reactions to those experienced by widows. Bowlby describes it in his model of loss of the attachment figure as dependent on attachment styles of divorced adults. The second hypothesis argues that the post-divorce co-parenting relationships are predicted by the attachment styles and by the quality of parents' attachment reorganization. At the end, a theoretical integration is built, based on a proposal for future research in this area. Keywords: Divorce; Attachment; Psychopathology; Adjustment; Co-parenting. Holmes e Rahe (1967), no seu estudo de referência, mostraram que o divórcio é o segundo stressor mais destruturante na vida adulta, imediatamente a seguir à morte do cônjuge. Na perspectiva da teoria da vinculação, não é surpreendente que, na longa lista de potenciais estressores descritos empiricamente, duas situações de separação/perda encabecem os eventos de vida percepcionados pelos adultos como os mais exigentes do ponto de vista da sua reorganização psicossocial. A maioria dos estudos conclui que as pessoas divorciadas experienciam menor bem-estar psicológico, piores níveis de felicidade e maiores índices de sintomatologia psicológica, nomeadamente depressão e ansiedade, quando comparadas às pessoas que permanecem casadas. Os adultos divorciados reportam mais distress psicofisiológico, perdas acentuadas na segurança económica e financeira e no suporte social, alterações depreciativas na percepção do self e desestabilização emocional nos sistemas de procura e prestação de cuidados
