Resumen
GALAN RODRIGUEZ, Antonio. How does Attachment Theory improve our clinical practice? A time for summing-up. Pap. Psicol. [online]. 2020, vol.41, n.1, pp.66-73. Epub 10-Mayo-2021. ISSN 1886-1415. https://dx.doi.org/10.23923/pap.psicol2020.2917.
Attachment theory has provided us with very useful resources for psychological intervention. The most relevant of these resources are presented here. Considering that psychotherapy inevitably involves the activation of the attachment system, some advice is provided in managing this (addressing underlying needs, deploying a two-stage therapeutic stance, including meta-communication dialogues, and being cautious when activating attachment). The influence of attachment on the ability to relate to inner experience (either as a threat or an experience that is difficult to reach) is presented. Three kinds of security related to attachment (physical, emotional, and cognitive) are taken into account, as well as their different demands on therapeutic relationships. Implications of attachment theory on self-regulation processes are presented. Finally, some additional contributions about conceptualization, assessment, and treatment are revised.
