Sentences with phrase «organized types of attachment»

Attempts at improving caregiver sensitivity have been largely through targeting caregiver representations and / or caregiver behaviour during interactions with their children.5 However, while caregiver sensitivity is linked to the organized types of attachment (secure, avoidant, resistant), it may not be as robustly linked to disorganized attachment.6 Thus, attachment - based interventions that target child - caregiver interactions to date may not have focused on the most clinically significant caregiver behaviours to prevent or reduce disorganized attachment.

In summary, attachment - based interventions to date have focused mainly on precursors of organized types of attachment rather than on precursors of disorganized attachment, reflecting the fact that the extent of negative sequelae of disorganized child - caregiver attachment has only recently been identified, as have precursors of disorganized attachment.
