Abstract:

This thesis is comprised of two volumes submitted to fulfil the academic requirements for the degree of Doctor of Clinical Psychology (Clin.Psy.D), School of Psychology, University of Birmingham. The first volume contains three papers which explore the broad theme of attachment and caregiving. The first paper, a literature review, examines the role of the caregiver in helping the infant to establish a secure attachment relationship. Specifically, it explores whether the caregiver’s ability to understand the world from the infant’s perspective is conducive to the development of attachment secur

The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between therapy outcome, the therapeutic alliance and both patient and therapist attachment styles. 14 therapists and 27 patients participated. 78.57% (n = 11) therapists and 29.63% (n = 8) patients were classified as securely attached by self-report measures. It was predicted that more patients of secure therapists would show clinically significant improvement as determined by CORE-OM scores. However, 21.05% of patients with a secure attachment style therapist compared to 40% of patients with a dismissing attachment style therapist showed

Abstract:

<p> Current literature suggests secure attachment and forgiveness are positively correlated. However, to date, the relationship of adult attachment, forgiveness, and generativity has not been explored. In this current study, middle-aged adults, ages 45-80 from the George Fox University Alumni were surveyed to explore attachment (anxious and avoidant), generativity, and forgiveness. Since generativity is a prosocial trait, synonymous with altruism, suggesting one’s selfless service and concern for the well-being for others, it is predicted that generativity will have a positive relationsh

Abstract:

This paper seeks to explore the development of attachments in humans as seen through Bowlby's (1980) attachment theory. Components of the theory which focus on how attachments are formed and how they influence future behavior are explored. These are used to then examine how attachment theory applies to the attachment patterns seen in homosexual males.

Background - Research suggests that individuals with complex mental health problems may experience problems expressing compassion to themselves and others. Difficult life experiences can lead to fears of compassion, which block such feelings and their expression. Expression of compassion can arise from self to others, others to self and self to self. Compassion is usually measured using self-report questionnaires. It has been suggested that interview based methods may be helpful for individuals with complex mental health problems who are fearful of compassion. Aims - The current study aimed to

There is an increased focus on attachment and its impact on educational outcomes in recent literature. In order to promote effective practices in educational psychology, it is important that research is able to assess children’s attachment networks easily and reliably. To understand what measures are available, reliable and usable across primary aged children (6–12 years), a systematic review of the literature was conducted. Measures elicited from papers were grouped by the underlying constructs they assessed: attachment patterns, quality of attachment relationships and attachment networks, an

Late-adolescents face the challenges of leaving their families and creating lives of their own. Research has focussed on factors affecting their adjustment as they make this transition. Attachment theory is a useful model for understanding this process of adjustment, as moving away from home has been likened to a naturally occurring adolescent-equivalent of the Strange Situation that is used to measure security and style of attachment in infants. First year university students compose a large population of late-adolescents who recently left home, and attachment theory has been used as a basis
