  • This video answers the questions: What is the attachment theory? How does attachment theory relate to personality disorders?
    Some researchers believe that attachment theory may be able to partially explain the development of anxiety, depression, personality disorders, as well as other factors like marital problems, poor academic performance, and other negative outcomes. Attachment styles may be a major determining factor in the organization of personality and etiological for psychopathology.
    Attachment model from Bartholomew and Horowitz:
    1. secure attachment: this is considered healthy attachment, we see a capacity maintain close relationships without losing a sense of autonomy, placing value on intimate friendships, and being thoughtful when discussing relationships
    2. dismissing attachment: with this style we see someone who has restricted emotions, flat affect, they downplay the importance of close relationships, they place a strong emphasis on being self-reliant and independent, and they are not clear and trustworthy when they discuss relationships
    3. preoccupied attachment: here we see someone who needs other people to accept them, they have a tendency to idealize others, they are overinvolved in close relationships, and we see exaggerated emotionality and incoherence when discussing relationships
    4. fearful attachment: here we see someone who avoids close relationships because they are afraid of rejection, they tend to distrust other people and they feel insecure

      Its why they turn to so many forums and magazine articles. To soothe their egos because they know what they did. But messages like 'self soothing' and 'children just bounce back' makes it easier to avoid confronting what they are doing and feeling, and to keep doing 'it' to their kids.

In many places families need two incomes to get by and employers don't give yearlong (or couple years) motherhood leaves.
      Also, where quantity of time spend with your baby is of a big importance, I think that quality of this time is even more important.

The only personality disorder mentioned was oppositional defiant disorder...very dangerous child. Finally found great counselors in Indiana at a treatment center focused solely on AD and then a counselor in Iowa that had a specialty in AD. He's an adult now and even said recently..bet you never dreamed I'd turn out as well as I did. I could never imagined it considering where he started. AD is treatable but many counselors have told me it's unusual. This is one heavy duty video!!

    My base response to negative outcomes/worries is to boil everything down to the point that nothing in life matters.
    It's like taking every positive advice you hear people give others and taking it to the extreme.
    Saps all the joy out of my life as i start to view family/friends as strangers that i have loose ties with (when deep down that's not the case)
    Every celebration i partake in i feel no joy.
    The past 2 years I've suffered from emotional numbness and i'm still recovering.
    Last summer i was at my worst with that condition and i was on vacation for a week.
    Lived with my sister and her fiancee that week and we decided to meet up with our younger sister.
    Second i met my younger sister at the train station she just stopped and looked at me, I wasn't malnourished or anything, i had nice clothes fresh haircut and all that, I reckon it was the eyes that put her off.
    Her reaction to meeting me scared me more than having the condition itself.
    I remember my sisters fiancee was on edge the whole week i was their guest.
    I felt like a robot/serial killer.
    But after this vacation i had a wake-up call and started to work on improving my mental health.
    Getting my own apartment drastically improved my mental state and now after a lot of work i can feel emotions again.
    Anyways, these videos has helped me out a lot and i appreciate the work you put into the videos.

    Absolutely correct that as psychoanalytic theory went out of fashion when Skinner and behaviorism was at its peak in the early 60s and the,70s, attachment theory fell out of favor. Developmental theorist Erik Erickson also had placed a high emphasis on attachment theory as the foundation of trust of others.
    I imagine you expand upon the theme of the historical theories of etiology in psychology in your grad lectures. It is important that we understand what has come before and the effort it took,to,get where we are in our field which of,course,will continue to develop in future. What concerns me most now that I am retired is how our field is put to,use in public policy and politics.
    WIth mental illness in particular, when I see popular movies that take an expose' tone I cringe because each step that was taken since the mentally I'll were first taken into religiously sponsored asylums through to today,with so much emphasis on pharmacological management of symptoms, each step was thought as more humane than what went before. Burning at the stake of the mentally ill believed to be possessed by the devil or demons
    ....to religious asylums where patients were often naked and chained not to punish them, but to prevent self harm....
    .... to the later government run asylums and hospitals of the 19th century that used insulin shock and cold water therapies
    ...to the mid 20 century when Thorazine was the treatment of choice to tranq patients to oblivion ala "The Cuckoos Nest"
    .....to the wholesale closing of those institutions heralded as progressive community mental health ala,Thomas Szaz, The Myth of Mental Illness, which politicians cited to save money so that the mentally ill were left to fend for themselves
    ....to today's situation where pharmaceuticals are used FAR too thoroughly to the exclusion of everything else. Too few get other therapies (Besel Van der Kolk: "TheBody Keeps the Score")that research shows CAN be helpful with some diagnoses...
    And so each development,has been believed at the time, to be an advancement in treatment policy over what it replaced only to,have policymakers ie. politicians who fund each solution in modern times overuse the next "great" solution.
    Now the severely mentally ill are too often homeless on the street, untreated, self medicating on alcohol or other even more faster acting lethal substances, the early deaths.....How does society see these as more HUMANE?
    THose movies do not show how society's policies esp,In the US, have evolved into something only slightly less horrific than the one I described at the beg of my rant.
    LIke the research physicists who developed the atomic bomb feared its ultimate use, we as psychologists have learned to fear how our profession's research will be turned into public policy in the future.......
    Thanks for another excellent thoughtful discussion

    • @kevinhornbuckle
      @kevinhornbuckle 4 года назад +4

      Sybil Francis Your review unwittingly suggests that the role of professional mental health is to blame the victims. The utility of that is the programming of politicians and public policy to revere wealth and worship the rich. Looking at poverty stats, one would have to conclude that it is official policy in the US to strip parents of the material bases of their attachment responsibilities with respect to their children. The way the term "evidence based" is bandied about seems to support this conclusion.

      As a lay person, I do believe attachment theory has many merits and helps a person understand what's happening and has been happening with them. I think capitalism has much to do with the abuse of psychological research and of research and developments in other streams of the sciences as well. It's become such that big pharma and psychotropic drug makers are all looking for customers and looking to create dependences for their products. In such an environment what Psychologists like Dr Grande and others at doing on RUclips and blogs is democratising and giving people access to knowledge about psychology which those who choose to can use it to analyse and help themselves or help identify others who need help. It's a really good thing. The information age is and can help undo some of the wrongs of capitalism. Very nice to hear your thoughts.

      Hi, Doc, I love asking psychologists this question if you (or anyone else) ever see it: what are your thoughts on psychodynamic psychology as a branch? I see much more merit in it than how I typically see it referenced, and the merits of attachment theory and overall childhood experiences impacting them as they age seem to speak to psychodynamic’s accuracy. Although I guess people have different understandings of what psychodynamic is exactly

    I recently finished reading the book “Attached: The New Science of Adult Attachment and...” by Dr. Amir Levine over Christmas and highly recommend it for anyone interested in learning more about attachment in adults and the importance of understanding attachment type in relationships (and to be mindful of the anxious-avoidant trap). The book also offers advice on how to relate to and improve communication between partners of differing attachment types. As someone who has struggled with Complex PTSD, and the physical disability and chronic illness all that past abuse caused, for the past 36 years (since age 12) and who has not been in any sort of relationship whatsoever in more than a quarter century I found the book very enlightening (I doubt if I’ll ever have a partner to test the advice against as I have never seen myself as worthy of love, but it was extremely enlightening and very well written nonetheless and I highly recommend the book...and I may still dream at least!).

      Your education is putting you on the right path to healing your C-PTSD (I assume you've read Pete Walker's book on Complex PTSD), and I hope you'll continue with Polyvagal Theory, the neurobiology and neurotransmitters that keep your malware running your wetware, and how none of it is your fault (ask Dr. Robert Sapolsky about Free Will). Visit Therapist Uncensored if you haven't already (they interview and adore Dr. Levine among many other cutting edge researchers), and visit Christine Askew for a gentle walk through Schema Therapy. As a fellow C-PTSD kid with a high ACE score, I get the lack of self worth, but this is what happened TO you well before any age of consent, and you survived through adaptation skills like a true warrior. As you look at your 'fate' from every educated angle of both nurture AND nature, eventually your built-in compassion will even extend to yourself (with a clear view of others' devils & deeds, and relative safety), to quiet that inner critic and embrace the wisdom that comes with that big picture. Then work on the pattern interrupts to your cycle of doom & gloom, and the positive *small* (so not insurmountable) steps using hacks to your Central Nervous System to form new neural pathways using neuroplasticity. Dr. Stephen Porges himself mentions a few biohacks to calm your amygdala, and stop braising in cortisol in this friendly interview. Keep at it. You're worth it. ruclips.net/video/SvQrgf1SKeU/видео.html

    This is so useful thank you Dr.Grande. I work in a Mentalization Based Treatment (MBT) service for men with personality disorder. One of the key theories underpinning MBT is Attachment Theory. One of the most challenging aspects has been to make links between a clients personality and their attachment style. Your breakdown of the differing attachment theories has really helped in that regard; we often found ourselves becoming bogged down by terminology from the differing models without realizing they were from differing models!
    Speaking of MBT, it would be very interesting to see you talk about it. I suppose to some extent it could compliment this video, as there is some evidence in the literature I believe that links different attachment styles to mentalizing capacity. The work of Peter Fonagy is of particular note.

    I have a lot of respect for the very lifelike notion of disorganized attachment. It leaves so much room for interpretation in the best way. Being mindful of everything that *disorganized attachment* could mean for each of my friends, family, partner, even my cats and dog(!) and people I work with ... has allowed me to manage my expectations significantly better than I think I would've been able to without this helpful idea. And this seems to be leading to steadily more secure/organized attachment for us all. "Meeting people where they're at" is probably something I attempt to do as a consequence of this, where it makes sense to do so. Sort of a lifesaver. Very informative video, btw -- thanks for doing it. I think it's important for sure.

    At university my last superior's area of expertise actually was attachment theory. I never liked it too much, I found it to be square and narrow minded, uuhhhhh... made me want to escape, so I worked in some other project there. I don't know how exactly you manage to do this, but your video about it is done in a sweet manner. People might get a false impression about academic psychology through your vids (too positive), but who cares... cutely done, doctor. 🐹 💗

    Dr. Grande, would you be able to look into C-PTSD and PTSD and the theory that certain personality types and/or people with certain traits are more likely to develop a trauma-related disorder, whether it be PTSD, C-PTSD, DID or OSDD? Also, it would be helpful if you could bring your expertise to bear on the concept of three (3) subtypes of PTSD, internalising, externalising and "simple PTSD".
    There's been some researchers who have connected high negative affectivity as a risk factor for PTSD and also the combination of this trait, neuroticism, with marked introversion or social inhibition, which some call "Type D personality", as risk factors for developing this trauma-related disorder. I am wondering if there's a case here for correlation not equaling causation i.e. that some individuals who develop PTSD or C-PTSD become more introverted and score higher on the neuroticism scale - as per the Big 5 or OCEAN test - *after* they've been exposed to trauma and develop PTSD or C-PTSD rather than being innately introverted or neurotic beforehand. The seeming comorbidity common to PTSD with findings from a few studies showing those with PTSD have higher rates of antisocial personality disorder, avoidant personality disorder, and borderline personality disorder (or BPD) is a matter I'm interested in and would like your thoughts on.
    It would also be very helpful to hear your analysis of the apparently three (3) temperament -based subtypes of PTSD - internalising, externalising, and "simple PTSD" - and the relationships of these subtypes to certain personality disorders e.g. schizoid and avoidant personality disorders being associated with the internalising subtype of PTSD, the externalising subtype apparently being associated with antisocial, borderline, histrionic, and narcissistic personality disorders, and the "simple" subtype of PTSD is, as the name suggests, believed to be typified by relatively normal personality profiles and low levels of the features of comorbid personality disorders. I find the division into externalising and internalising problematic considering that the traits deemed characteristic of these two subtypes often appear or in or are exhibited by the same individual with PTSD which strongly suggests that an individual with PTSD can have both anger, aggression and anti-social traits which characterise externalising PTSD *and* social avoidance and withdrawal, anxiety and depression which characterise internalising PTSD. Also, since the research on this three (3) temperament-based subtypes of PTSD appears only to have been undertaken using combat veterans, whether these categories truly are appropriate to be applied to anyone with PTSD o C-PTSD seems questionable without those with PTSD from other trauma-related circumstances being studied such as survivors of sexual abuse or assault.

    This video is appeasing to my analytical approach in understanding the links to behaviour based on trauma (bonding and attachment).
    The analysis is pertinent to accessing a best therapy to unlock these patterns ~ if such a thing is possible for some.
    As I was recently able to unlock a belief that has been running since birth - not nursed/nurtured - I do sense hope for others if they are willing to accept their traumas and to heal them. This requires letting go of those formulated beliefs and recreation of healthy alternatives 💞

    Thank you once again for an excellent, scientific-based analysis of attachment theory and its relationship to personality pathology. I remember one of the first essays in the 1st year of psychology (at University) was about whether a child's experiences during his/her first few years of development was important, and how. It involved studying various experiments typically conducted in the 1960s and earlier which were quite cruel (such as Harry Harlow’s Rhesus Monkey Experiments), as well as those involving institutionalised children such as those in orphanages who were not provided with much or only perfunctory physical attention, affection or loving treatments from any 'caregivers.' Not once did we study the relationship of attachment styles to personality pathology or personality traits in general which may have been due to the decrease in the popularity of attachment theory and the rise of interesting cognitive behavioural theory and therapies. Do you think the Preoccupied and Fearful attachment styles are often generated by trauma rather than just innate personality or genetic/hereditary?

    One thing that confused/surprised me was when you said the attachment style of ocpd was preoccupied. This surprised me because I thought you said in previous videos that people with ocpd were brought into therapy because they were not paying enough attention to their personal relationships. That seems inconsistent with a preoccupied attachment style as you described it. If I am missing something could you let me know? I know that you don't usually answer questions from the comments directly, so maybe you could discuss this in another video?
    Again, thanks for all of your hard work, you are the content provider I watch the most.

    I've been watching your channel off and on for probably a year or so and this is my first comment.
    I watched this video from start to finish, and my comprehension up to 10:21 was probably in the teen percentile, and I almost turned it off. When you started to describe the personality disorders, my comprehension increased to about the forty percentile range,
    I wanted to understand the subject matter here.
    I rewatched, backed up when necessary which was often, I mean a lot, and listened repeatedly to the same sentences, thoughts and explanations until I reached my maximum level of comprehension. I probably spent an hour, maybe more with this video.
    Based on my total comprehension which I still don't think is very good, I believe I am a preoccupied dependent AVP.
    My brother, whom I love dearly but cannot stand due to his irrational and abusive behavior, is a malignant narcissist in the fearful dismissive attachment style (I think).
    I once scored 129 on an an I.Q. test given by a friend who was a university professor. I either lost a few dozen points since or need a score higher than 129 to understand what was said here.

    The funniest thing about this video for me happens around min. 9:14, when a positive & negative view of oneself plus a positive & negative view of others is characterized as "disorganized attachment style".To me this is simply a realistic view of the world and oneself, very organized. I've learned that a disorganized style comes from a approach-avoidance conflict, I think Dr. Grande mentioned it just yesterday in the last video (the one about schizoid personality disorder), which means that one desires something that is potentially dangerous at the same time. It is seen as (extremely) positive but with a price attached that is too high. For me this is not the same thing. Am I simply hairsplitting here or is this distinction justified? Any comments (agree, disagree) on that? 😃
    Edit: sorry I think I was indeed a bit hairsplitting here. When something is broken down to make it easier to understand, of course the whole thing loses precision. I think I know how it was meant in the vid, thank you.

      @@juliettailor1616 Oh, I can help you with that. The term "disorganized" is a common clinical term. In attachment theory it originally refers to the seemingly aimless, confused behaviour of the child in the experimental situation of Marie Ainsworth' 'strange situation test' and is at a later point in time used for behaviours of grown-ups in their relationships. The child went back and forth and didn't know what to do. This is not splitting, in which purely positive and purely negative feelings are held over a certain amount of time and then alternate. Disorganized means literally been torn apart between positive and negative characteristics of a situation at one point of time. The term was also used in this way to describe a certain subtype of schizophrenia in the DSM IV, since this type of conflict can be experienced in the illness frequently. Hope this was helpful.

How in a field of research with so many disputed, unverified ideas (names), can one act , in practice, with confidence? I have spent, as a layperson, a lot of time gaining some purchase on feelings following psychological abuse , ie. validation of emotions , and that is just MY emotions, never mind your complex hypothetical scenarios and the wider world of situations. I can't help feeling that my 'validations' might fall below the mark set here! Or, alternatively, you are simply making things far more complicated than they really need to be.
