1. John Bowlby used the term "attachment" to describe the affective bond that develops between an infant and a primary caregiver. He believed that the "attachment behavioral system" was one of four behavioral systems that are innate and evolutionarily function to assure survival of the species.
True
False
2. Alan Sroufe, of the University of Minnesota, conceptualizes attachment as a form of dyadic emotion regulation.
3. Daniel Stern, author of the Interpersonal World of the Infant, refers to the "attunement of the caregiver" where the parent is sensitive only to the verbal cues of the child.
4. Mary Ainsworth was the American psychologist who brought Bowlby's theory to the United States and developed a method of assessing infant attachment. In her landmark book, Patterns of Attachment: A psychological study of the strange situation (1978), she describes this widely used protocol, the strange situation, and the patterns of secure and insecure attachment.
5. Originally three patterns were observed, secure, anxious avoidant, and anxious ambivalent, but later on Mary Main and Judith Solomon at the University of California in Berkeley described a fourth category, disorganized.
6. The disorganized children were particularly ambivalent upon reunion with their attachment figure, both approaching and avoiding contact.
7. Researchers have found that the attachment status of a prospective parent will predict the attachment status of their child to that parent, with as high as 80 percent predictability.
8. Changes in attachment status can occur in either direction (secure to insecure, insecure to secure) from childhood into adulthood.
9. The AAI is the only method to assess adult attachment.
10. On the AAI, dismissing adults tend to have extremely long stories. Many recall detailed memories of childhood.
11. Preoccupied individuals tend to have extremely short stories, often claiming that they don't have memory for childhood experiences.
12. The Relationship Status Questionaire assesses attachment status by assessing the degree of anxiety and use of avoidance in interpersonal relationships.
13. Attachment status can easily be assessed through the clinical interview.
14. In his books, Fonagy speaks about the hallmark of secure attachment being the ability to reflect on one's internal emotional experience, and make sense of it, and at the same time reflect on the mind of another.
15. According to Dan Stern, "Now Moments" are times in the therapy when the patient and therapist are not attuned to each other.
16. Alan Schore believes the capacities for secure attachment are primarily located in the left prefrontal region of the brain.
17. In contingent communication between a therapist and client, the client is likely to feel understood by the therapist.
18. Non-verbal communication in psychotherapy is not as important as the content of what is said.
19. The therapist's state of mind with regard to attachment will not only be a critical factor in both the development of the alliance, but also in the ultimate outcome of psychotherapy.
20. The organization of the parent's brain (whether secure or insecure) plays a significant part in the organization of the developing brain of the child, therefore the more secure the therapist, the greater they can imbue security in their patients.
