    Abstract:
    Using the Separation Anxiety Test, this study assessed the attachment patterns in a sample of 27 boys and girls in psychotherapeutic treatment to test the hypothesis of a relationship between attachment styles and problem perception (using the problem questionnaire of Westhoff), and concentration. In conformity with the hypothesis, results demonstrate children with anxious-avoidant attachment showing less, those with anxious-ambivalent attachment indicating more problems than average. There was a general tendency for children with behavioral disorders reporting more problems than a comparative sample of 19 school children. No correlation was found between attachment styles and concentration (assessed via the d2-test). The concentrative abilities were generally reduced in the clinical sample. The results are discussed in relation to action-theoretical assumptions.
