    Our Attachment system is a key biobehavioural system encompassing both neuronal development and psychological representation. The system evolves to help us manage the stress of long-term relationships that involve disparities of strength and vulnerability. Where the development of such a system is compromised, there is a direct impact on how and whether people seek care from others; and how stressful they find care seeking and care giving.

    “Parenthood…It’s about guiding the next generation and forgiving the last.” – Peter Krause

    The attachment bond is known to have significant influence on child development; specifically, on the origins of self-experience and the relational mind. Secure attachment for a child is known to be influenced by the parental state of mind, and there is now increasing evidence for the transgenerational transmission of attachment. At this intellectually stimulating and practically oriented seminar, relevant for therapists working with children, adults or families, Dr Gwen Adshead explains how the parental state of mind is the key ‘environment’ that influences child development in the first 1000 days.

    As therapists, our comprehension of Attachment Theory has evolved over the years, as evidence from neurobiological and relational studies has enhanced the original models of secure base representations to integrated approaches that lay emphasis on regulation of Affect. Such a broader understanding that incorporates affective somatic processes, biological development and relational transactions has the capacity to inform our therapeutic approaches, allowing us, as practitioners to clearly assess our clients’ defence strategies, dependency levels, patterns of self-representation and enhancements of agency.

    Early childhood adversity, neglect and childhood sexual abuse are just some of the risk factors that can directly impact behaviours we associate with Personality Disorders. An explanation for such linkage is that clients with personality disorders experience great difficulty in establishing and sustaining interpersonal relationships that require good affect regulation. Their inability to regulate negative affects increases the likelihood of unregulated hostility and angry responses. This actually puts such clients at an enhanced disadvantage – not only do they tend to alienate caregivers, but they are likely to do so at times of greatest need.

    Attachment theory provides useful perspectives on emotionally unstable or borderline personality disorder (BPD); both in terms of how the disorder develops and in terms of therapy. Both clients and therapists may struggle with trust, high levels of negative affect, and therapeutic ruptures. Attachment needs in such clients are highly aroused and often extremely difficult to assuage. Understandably, BPD clients can not only struggle to participate in the therapeutic alliance, but can also view therapists as aloof, uncaring, antagonistic or unsympathetic.

    Since Freud started his talking technique with clients over 100 years ago, it has been recognised that unconscious dynamics can pull therapists out of their therapeutic role and into roles that may reflect a person or relationship of significance to the client’s past. Recent studies have also demonstrated how attachment patterns repeat across different relationships. Some clients may present as victims who are especially needy for affirmation and unconditional support, while others may present in more dismissing and avoidant ways, even to the point of denigrating the therapy that they have sought. Depending on the stage of the therapeutic relationship – therapists may find themselves being implicitly asked to play the role of parent, partner of child – sometimes all at the same time – creating a multitude of challenges for us as therapists.

    The ‘orchid-dandelion’ hypothesis of child development (Ellis, 2008)suggests that there are some ‘environments’ that can damage even the most resilient children. Parental harshness, chronic hostility and a rejecting stance might form part of such hazardous environments – the incidence of which may be more common in parents with personality disorders. Evidence shows that such ‘maladaptive parental behaviour’ is not just associated with high rates of child and adolescent psychopathology; but also with higher manifestations of conduct and / or oppositional defiant disorders in children.
