Attachment theory research now focuses on internal representations. This review explores insecure attachment, psychophysiological reactivity, affect regulation, and illness behavior in psychosomatic disorders.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Psychosomatic Medicine
  • Attachment Theory

Context:

  • Attachment theory has evolved from behavioral observations to internal representations since the mid-1980s.
  • Research in attachment increasingly explores its connection to psychological and physiological processes.

Purpose:

  • To provide an overview of attachment research, including assumptions, methodology, and findings.
  • To examine four key issues relevant to psychosomatic research: insecure attachment prevalence, psychophysiological reactivity, affect regulation, and illness behavior.

Summary:

  • Insecure attachment representations are prevalent in psychosomatic disorders.
  • Insecure attachment is associated with heightened psychophysiological reactivity and challenges in affect regulation.
  • Classifying attachment representations may enhance understanding of illness behavior in conditions like somatoform disorders.
