  • Title: [The link between ambivalent-preoccupied mode of attachment and narcissistic vulnerability in adolescence].
    Author: de Vito E.
    Journal: Prax Kinderpsychol Kinderpsychiatr; 2013; 62(10):748-57. PubMed ID: 24505858.
    Abstract:
    Attachment research has deepened our understanding of the essential continuities and discontinuities of psychological development from childhood to adolescence and to adulthood. This paper considers the relevance of ambivalent-preoccupied attachment, one of the two types of insecure attachment, for understanding emotional vulnerability during adolescence. How current social and economic conditions have exacerbated the effects of ambivalent-preoccupied attachment in the attainment of the developmental tasks of adolescence is considered. By describing three clinical vignettes clinical recommendations are given.
