O presente estudo teve como principal objectivo estimar  a influência das memórias de cuidados pelos pais durante a infância no estilo de vinculação e na qualidade das relações com pessoas significativas na gravidez. Contou com uma amostra de 48 adolescentes a quem se administrou, no terceiro trimestre de gestação, a versão portuguesa dos seguintes instrumentos: Inventory for Assessing Memories of Parental Rearing Behaviour (EMBU) (Perris, Jacobson, Lindstorm, vonKnorring, & Perris, 1980), Attachment Style Interview(ASI) (Bifulco, Figueiredo, Guedeney, Gorman, Hayes, et al., 2004) e Self Evaluation and Social Support (SESS) (Brown, Bifulco, Veiel, & Andrews, 1990), no sentido de avaliar, respectivamente, as memórias de cuidados parentais, o estilo de vinculação e a qualidade do suporte e do relacionamento com a mãe e com o companheiro. Os resultados sugerem que a qualidade dos cuidados parentais durante a infância é um factor determinante para a qualidade da vinculação em grávidas adolescentes, sobretudo a rejeição e a ausência de suporte emocional por parte de ambos os pais mostram ser decisivos na emergência de estratégias inseguras de vinculação.A qualidade dos cuidados parentais durante a infância – o suporte emocional por parte da mãe e a rejeição por parte de ambos os pais – influencia também a qualidade do relacionamento com o companheiro e com própria mãe durante a gravidez. Surgem, ainda, indicações de que os cuidados parentais durante a infância determinam a qualidade do relacionamento do indivíduo com pessoas significativas na adolescência//adulticia, na medida em que contribuem para o elaborar de estratégias seguras ou inseguras da vinculação.

Background: Infertility is one of the fastest growing concerns when it comes to reproductive health and most often, women get the blame. Consequently, females suffer from major psycho-social and emotional problems that may lead to serious mental health concerns.Methods: To fill the gap in literature, a cross-sectional research design was used to measure the attachment styles with spouse, perceived social support, and predict mental health problems in women attending infertility clinics with ages ranging from 19-45 (M 27.21, SD 4.79). Adult Attachment Questionnaire, Multidimensional Perceived Social Support, and Depression Anxiety Stress Scale were used among experimental subjects selected through purposive sampling technique.Results: About 32% women reported themselves as secure, 49% as ambivalent, and 19% as avoidant in their attachment style with spouse. The results revealed that a significant negative correlation exists between perceived social support and mental health problems among women with infertility. Moreover, women who identify their attachment pattern as Ambivalent perceive less social support and experience more mental health problems.Conclusions: Education is one of the strongest predictors of how likely infertility is to cause mental health issues while Attachment style is another strong indicator since infertile women with secure attachment pattern have fewer mental health problems. However, the sample size was modest to make any wide-scale assumptions, so further trials with larger participant pools must be performed. Additionally, future studies should include both rural and urban samples with different psychological variables to find the similarities and differences between various groups of people with diverse backgrounds.

Alexithymia and its relation with attachment style were evaluated in a group of 69 patients (men, M age = 46.4 yr., SD =12.6; women, M age = 44.2 yr., SD = 14.4) affected by Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease. Two self-evaluation questionnaires were used for psychological evaluation, the 20 item Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20) and the Attachment Style Questionnaire (ASQ). The TAS-20 analysis showed that the clinical sample taken as a whole did not score in the alexithymic range. The inverse correlations between the Confidence ASQ subscale and the Difficulty Communicating Feelings TAS-20 subscale showed that communication of emotions could develop more easily within the framework of a relational context characterized by safety and confidence. In this group of patients this was represented by the referent caregiver.
