Dysfunctional attachment and psychopathological outcomes in childhood and adulthood Giulio Perrotta<p>Attachment is defined as a dynamic system of attitudes and behaviours that contribute to the formation of a specific bond between two people; a constraint whose roots can be traced in the primary relationships established between child and adult. In the psychological field, the term is used to identify the relationships that are established with the caregiver; it can be “functional” when it represents a secure base, or “dysfunctional” when it represents an insecure or even disorganized base. The present work identifies the general framework of reference, with specific indications concerning clinical and psychopathological profiles, in infancy and adulthood, arising from the failure or erroneous establishment of the caregiver. </p> Open Journal of Trauma - Peertechz Publications 2020-05-22 Review Article https://doi.org/10.17352/ojt.000025 en Copyright © Giulio Perrotta et al.
