“…In fact, only 3 patients changed at the 12-month follow-up from insecure to secure attachment, and the others did so from an insecure prototype to another insecure prototype. This is consistent with previous studies that found that some individuals did not become secure over the course of the treatment period, but instead changed to a different insecure style (Diamond et al, 1999;Travis et al, 2001).…”

“…Once the mood state is obtained, it can rapidly lead to aggressive, impulsive, self-destructive, interpersonally intrusive, or extreme isolative behavior [7,[10][11][12]. Relatedly, investigators have begun to examine the clinical applications of attachment theory both theoretically [2,4,5,[13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23] and empirically [3,[24][25][26][27][28][29][30]. These authors have begun to delineate how attachment classifications and dimensions contribute to understanding the underlying psychopathology and the quality and nature of the therapeutic alliance, psychotherapy process, patterns of transference and countertransference, and psychotherapy outcome.…”

This article reviews the recent literature on attachment and attachment-related constructs in borderline personality disorder, with attention given to how recent findings in this area may inform understanding of the mechanisms underlying the etiology, maintenance, and treatment of the disorder. Most findings on this topic have stemmed from three major areas of research, each of which is reviewed in this article: 1) developmental psychopathology studies; 2) experimental psychopathology studies, particularly those using a neuroscience approach; and 3) treatment studies that have examined variables relevant to attachment. Overall, these findings suggest that attachment and related constructs may factor greatly into the underlying psychopathology of borderline personality disorder and may significantly impact the process and outcome of psychotherapy for the disorder. These findings are discussed as they relate to existing theories and ongoing debates in the field, and the implications for future research and clinical practice are highlighted.

“…Nearly all the studies which focus on changes in attachment due to treatment consider only special populations of adults (Diamond et al 1999;Fonagy et al 1995;Korfmacher et al 1997;Lawson et al 2006;Levy et al 2006;Routh et al 1995;Travis et al 2001). For example, Diamond et al (1999) and Levy et al (2006) both consider how year-long transferencefocused psychotherapy impacts the attachment classification of adults with borderline personality disorder. Lawson et al (2006) consider attachment shifts among male partner abusers following a 17-week group treatment.…”

This study examined shifts in adolescents' attachment relationships with parents and peers during a 7-week wilderness therapy program. Ninety-six adolescents, aged 14-17, completed three quantitative measurements evaluating attachment relationships with mother, father and peers pre and post treatment. Adolescents reported improved attachment relationships in terms of decreased anger and increased emotional connection towards parents. Results also showed adolescents' more troubled attachment relationships in terms of trust and communication with parents by the end of treatment. Adolescents reported similarly mixed results in both a positive and negative direction regarding peers. These findings indicate the complexity of parent-adolescent relationships particularly considered in the context of out-of-home care and point to the importance of continued exploration in this area.
