  • Clinical Psychology
  • Psychopathology

Background:

  • Attachment theory provides a framework for understanding protection and risk in behavior, emotion, and cognition.
  • Externalizing disorders encompass a range of behavioral and emotional difficulties.
  • Attachment relationships are crucial for healthy development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To integrate attachment theory and relationship research with the study of externalizing symptoms.
  • To examine the links between attachment status, developmental domains, and externalizing disorders.
  • To illustrate an approach to understanding the etiology and maintenance of externalizing disorders.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive literature review was conducted.
