discrimination internalized homonegativity and attitudes toward children of same sex parents can Secure Attachment buffer against stigma internalization
Family Process, 2017Co-Authors: Leora Trub, Ella Quinlan, Tyrel J. Starks, Lisa RosenthalAbstract:With increasing numbers of same-sex couples raising children in the United States, discriminatory attitudes toward children of same-sex parents (ACSSP) are of increasing concern. As with other forms of stigma and discrimination, lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) individuals are at risk for internalizing these societal attitudes, which can negatively affect parenting-related decisions and behaviors and the mental and physical health of their children. Secure Attachment is characterized by positive views of the self as loveable and worthy of care that are understood to develop in early relationships with caregivers. Secure Attachment has been associated with positive mental and physical health, including among LGB individuals and couples. This study aimed to test the potential buffering role of Secure Attachment against stigma internalization by examining associations among Secure Attachment, discrimination, internalized homonegativity (IH), and ACSSP in an online survey study of 209 U.S. adults in same-sex relationships. Bootstrap analyses supported our hypothesized moderated mediation model, with Secure Attachment being a buffer. Greater discrimination was indirectly associated with more negative ACSSP through greater IH for individuals with mean or lower levels, but not for individuals with higher than average levels of Secure Attachment, specifically because among those with higher levels of Secure Attachment, discrimination was not associated with IH. These findings build on and extend past research, with important implications for future research and clinical work with LGB individuals, same-sex couples, and their families, including potential implementation of interventions targeting Attachment security.

Discrimination, Internalized Homonegativity, and Attitudes Toward Children of Same‐Sex Parents: Can Secure Attachment Buffer Against Stigma Internalization?

discrimination internalized homonegativity and attitudes toward children of same sex parents can Secure Attachment buffer against stigma internalization

Secure Attachment to therapist alliance and outcome in psychoanalytic psychotherapy with young adults
Journal of Counseling Psychology, 2015Co-Authors: Peter Lilliengren, Fredrik Falkenstrom, Rolf Sandell, Pia Risholm Mothander, Andrzej WerbartAbstract:Using a novel approach to assess Attachment to therapist from patient narratives (Patient Attachment to Therapist Rating Scale; PAT-RS), we investigated the relationships between Secure Attachment to therapist, patient-rated alliance, and outcome in a sample of 70 young adults treated with psychoanalytic psychotherapy. A series of linear mixed-effects models, controlling for length of therapy and therapist effects, indicated that Secure Attachment to therapist at termination was associated with improvement in symptoms, global functioning, and interpersonal problems. After controlling for the alliance, these relationships were maintained in terms of symptoms and global functioning. Further, for the follow-up period, we found a suppression effect indicating that Secure Attachment to therapist predicted continued improvement in global functioning, whereas the alliance predicted deterioration when both variables were modeled together. Although limited by the correlational design, this study suggests that the development of a Secure Attachment to therapist is associated with treatment gains as well as predictive of posttreatment improvement in functioning. Future research should investigate the temporal development of Attachment to therapist and its interaction with alliance and outcome more closely. To ensure differentiation from patient-rated alliance, observer-based measurement of Attachment to therapist should be considered.

Mindfulness of voices, self-compassion, and Secure Attachment in relation to the experience of hearing voices.
The British journal of clinical psychology, 2017Co-Authors: James Dudley, Catrin Eames, John Mulligan, Naomi Ruth FisherAbstract:Objectives Developing compassion towards oneself has been linked to improvement in many areas of psychological well-being, including psychosis. Furthermore, developing a non-judgemental, accepting way of relating to voices is associated with lower levels of distress for people who hear voices. These factors have also been associated with Secure Attachment. This study explores associations between the constructs of mindfulness of voices, self-compassion, and distress from hearing voices and how Secure Attachment style related to each of these variables. Design Cross-sectional online. Method One hundred and twenty-eight people (73% female; Mage = 37.5; 87.5% Caucasian) who currently hear voices completed the Self-Compassion Scale, Southampton Mindfulness of Voices Questionnaire, Relationships Questionnaire, and Hamilton Programme for Schizophrenia Voices Questionnaire. Results Results showed that mindfulness of voices mediated the relationship between self-compassion and severity of voices, and self-compassion mediated the relationship between mindfulness of voices and severity of voices. Self-compassion and mindfulness of voices were significantly positively correlated with each other and negatively correlated with distress and severity of voices. Conclusion Mindful relation to voices and self-compassion are associated with reduced distress and severity of voices, which supports the proposed potential benefits of mindful relating to voices and self-compassion as therapeutic skills for people experiencing distress by voice hearing. Practitioner points Greater self-compassion and mindfulness of voices were significantly associated with less distress from voices. These findings support theory underlining compassionate mind training. Mindfulness of voices mediated the relationship between self-compassion and distress from voices, indicating a synergistic relationship between the constructs. Although the current findings do not give a direction of causation, consideration is given to the potential impact of mindful and compassionate approaches to voices.

Mothers seeing their VLBW infants within 3 h after birth are more likely to establish a Secure Attachment behavior: evidence of a sensitive period with preterm infants?
Journal of Perinatology, 2011Co-Authors: Katrin Mehler, D Wendrich, R Kissgen, B. Roth, André Oberthuer, Frank Pillekamp, Angela KribsAbstract:Objective: Close contact of mother and child in the first hours after birth is essential for the establishment of a Secure Attachment behavior in term infants. To date, studies investigating whether a ‘sensitive period’ also exists for very low birth weight (VLBW) preterm infants are lacking. Study Design: Attachment patterns of 62 VLBW infants were assessed using the ‘strange situation’ setting and correlated with the time mothers saw their child for the first time. Furthermore, maternal and infant covariates possibly influencing the Attachment behavior were analyzed. As maternal factors the mother's age, social status and pregnancy history were recorded and at three time points (time 1, 2 and 3 ( t -1, t -2 and t -3)), a semi-structured interview, a depression and a social support questionnaire were performed. As infant factors neonatal basic data, ventilation time and length of hospital stay were recorded. Disease severity was scored using the clinical risk index for babies, score for neonatal acute physiology (SNAP), SNAP perinatal extension and nursery neurobiological risk score. At time points t -2 and t -3, the infants were examined using the second edition of Bayley scales of infant development. Results: In all, 53.2% of the children showed a Secure, 33.9% an inSecure-avoidant, 3.2% an inSecure-ambivalent and 9.7% an inSecure-disorganized Attachment behavior. Preterm infants whose mothers had seen them within 3 h after birth had a higher rate of Secure Attachment than preterm infants with no early contact (76 versus 41%, P =0.009). Firstborns showed a significantly higher rate of inSecure Attachment behavior (93 versus 67%, P =0.01). No influence on Attachment behavior was shown for any other maternal or infant factor. Conclusions: Our results support the hypothesis that the first hours after birth are a ‘sensitive period’ for the development of Attachment behavior in VLBW infants. When a mother is enabled to see her infant shortly after birth, the ‘sensitive period’ right after birth may be used to help forming an important basis for the Secure Attachment of the preterm infant.
