Abstract:
In this study, the authors investigated changes in attachment orientation after treatment in an inpatient program for adults with posttraumatic stress disorder. The authors also examined the association between these changes and symptom reduction. Results indicated that secure attachment increased significantly over treatment in comparison to a wait list group, and this change was maintained over the 6 months after discharge. Positive changes were also noted in the underlying attachment dimensions of anxiety and avoidance. Furthermore, positive changes in attachment were found to be associated with symptom reduction during treatment and maintenance of these reductions after discharge. These results have potential implications for the goals of psychotherapeutic intervention in general and for the utility of specialized inpatient trauma treatment specifically.
