Internal Experience

This study examined the links between mothers’ empathic understanding of their preschoolers’ internal experience and early infant-mother attachment. The empathic understanding of 118 mothers of 4.5-year-olds was assessed by showing them three videotaped segments of observations of their children and themselves and interviewing them regarding their children’s and their own thoughts and feelings. Interviews were rated and then classi” ed into one empathic and three nonempathic categories, and mothers’ misperceptions of the observations were coded as well. Infant-mother attachment classifications obtained using the Strange Situation when infants were 12 months old were also available. Results showed associations between mothers’ empathic understanding classifications and children’s attachment classifications as well as differences between mothers of secure and insecure children on one of the two interview composite scores. Also, mothers of insecurely attached children had more misperceptions than those of securely attached children. The contributions of this study to the work on mothers’ representations of their children are discussed.

  Los beneficios del apego temprano, diada madre e hijo al momento del nacimiento, se basan en una estrecha interrelación con incidencia sobre aspectos fisiológicos y psicológicos de ambos. El objetivo fue analizar los efectos del apego temprano en la evolución fisiológica y psicológica madre-hijo. El estudio fue aplicado, mixto, exploratorio y descriptivo, de diseño no experimental, de campo y transversal. El área de estudio fue el Ambulatorio Urbano Palo Gordo con un número de partos mensuales promedio de cuatro. También se aplicaron dos cuestionarios: Maternal Attachment Inventory (MAI) y Escala de Apego durante Estrés (ADS). Se evaluaron dos partos eutócicos, con recién nacidos masculino y femenino, con talla, peso, temperatura y Apgar normales. El contacto piel a piel fue inadecuado en ambos, con mejores tiempos el primero, lo que se reflejó en un exitoso proceso de lactancia materna exclusiva. El desarrollo psicomotor no presentó diferencias. Una de las diadas madre-hijo presentó un alto grado de vinculación afectiva y conductas relacionadas con un apego sano, mientras que la otra no.   Palabras clave: Apego temprano, evolución, madre, hijo.   Abstract The benefits of early attachment, mother and child dyad at birth, are based on a close interrelation with incidence on physiological and psychological aspects of both. The objective was to analyze the effects of early attachment on the mother-child physiological and psychological evolution. The study was applied, mixed, exploratory and descriptive, with a non-experimental, field and cross-sectional design. The study area was the Palo Gordo Urban Outpatient Clinic with an average number of monthly deliveries of four. Two questionnaires were also applied: Maternal Attachment Inventory (MAI) and Attachment Scale during Stress (ADS). Two eutocic deliveries were evaluated, with male and female newborns, with normal height, weight, temperature and Apgar. Skin-to-skin contact was inadequate in both, with better times the first, which was reflected in a successful process of exclusive breastfeeding. Psychomotor development did not show differences. One of the mother-child dyads presented a high degree of bonding and behaviors related to healthy attachment, while the other did not.   Keywords: Early attachment, evolution, mother, son

Early Relationships

Attachment relationships as bipersonal, dynamic systems of interaction and meaning-making, can be understood as a resilient mechanism, a level of resilience in itself. A resilient early attachment relationship may facilitate resilience across development and interact with other factors to promote healthier, more resilient societies at different ecological levels. In this chapter, first, the concept of attachment resilience and its constituent factors are developed within the framework of resilience literature. Second, the ecological nature of attachment resilience is posited, and a set of four principles for the ecological study and enhancement of attachment resilience is presented and applied to a case study. Finally, a discussion of the implications of these ideas for interventions with families is developed.

Attachment Disruption

Humans are strongly dependent upon social resources for allostasis and emotion regulation. This applies especially to early childhood because humans – as an altricial species – have a prolonged period of dependency on support and input from caregivers who typically act as sources of co-regulation. Accordingly, attachment theory proposes that the history and quality of early interactions with primary caregivers shape children’s internal working models of attachment. In turn, these attachment models guide behavior, initially with the set goal of maintaining proximity to caregivers, but eventually paving the way to more generalized mental representations of self and others. Mounting evidence in nonclinical populations suggests that these mental representations coincide with differential patterns of neural structure, function, and connectivity in a range of brain regions previously associated with emotional and cognitive capacities. What is currently lacking, however, is an evidence-based account of how early adverse attachment-related experiences and/or the emergence of attachment disorganization impact the developing brain. While work on early childhood adversities offers important insights, we propose that how these events become biologically embedded crucially hinges on the context of the child-caregiver attachment relationships in which the events take place. Our selective review distinguishes between direct social neuroscience research on disorganized attachment and indirect maltreatment-related research, converging on aberrant functioning in neurobiological systems subserving aversion, approach, emotion regulation, and mental state processing in the wake of severe attachment disruption. To account for heterogeneity of findings, we propose two distinct neurobiological phenotypes characterized by hyper- and hypo-arousal primarily deriving from the caregiver serving either as a threatening or as an insufficient source of co-regulation, respectively.

This chapter covers an integrative psychotherapy known as cyclical psychodynamics and features its origins, applicability, assessment, treatment, therapy relationship, case example, outcome research, and future directions. Cyclical psychodynamics is an approach to theory and therapy that centers on the repetitive interaction cycles that maintain adaptive and maladaptive patterns of living. Employing concepts and methods from psychodynamic, behavioral, cognitive-behavioral, systemic, and humanistic-experiential perspectives, the aim is to interrupt these cycles to enable the person not only to be relieved of distressing symptoms but to live more fully and richly. A key focus is on how the person unwittingly recruits “accomplices” in the maintenance of the pattern through the behaviors his actions evoke in others. Also central is attention to the ways that early attachment experiences lead some of our thoughts, wishes, and feelings to be cast into the background, rendered difficult to access consciously or to draw upon adaptively in one’s life. The therapy proceeds integratively, attending both to the expansion of subjective experience and to more adaptive daily behavior, as well as to how each promotes the other.
