“…These kinds of research findings led Mikulincer, Shaver, and Horesh (2006) to suggest that attachment insecurities may contribute to the development and maintenance of PTSD. Attachment insecurities may keep people who are exposed to traumatic events from calling upon either inner representations of security or external sources of support and comfort, thus making it more difficult to regulate distress.…”

We used actor-partner interdependence modeling to explore associations among attachment-related dyadic processes, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in war veterans, and secondary traumatic stress (STS) in their wives. A sample of 157 Israeli couples (85 former prisoners of war and their wives and a comparison group of 72 veterans not held captive and their wives) completed self-report scales assessing attachment insecurities (anxiety, avoidance) and PTSD symptoms. For both groups of veterans and their wives, attachment anxiety was associated with the severity of their own and their spouses' PTSD and STS. Avoidant attachment was associated with PTSD and STS only in couples that included a former prisoner of war. A complex pattern of associations involving avoidant attachment was observed in the actor-partner analyses of these couples. The study demonstrates that attachment-related dyadic processes play a role in the development and maintenance of PTSD in traumatized veterans and STS in their wives.

Post-traumatic growth, distress and attachment style among women with breast cancer / Romeo, Annunziata; Ghiggia, Ada; Tesio, Valentina; Di Tella, Marialaura; Torta, Riccardo; Castelli, Lorys. -In: JOURNAL OF PSYCHOSOCIAL ONCOLOGY. -ISSN 0734-7332. -35:3(2017), pp. 309-322. Original Citation:Post-traumatic growth, distress and attachment style among women with breast cancer AbstractWe investigated the level of Post-traumatic growth (PTG) and its relationship with clinical and psychological variables in a sample of 108 females breast cancer survivors. The data were collected through the PTG Inventory, the Relationship Questionnaire, the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale and the Distress Thermometer. Women with higher depressive symptoms presented lower levels of PTG than women without. Moreover, women who had undergone combined treatment presented higher levels of PTG than women who had not. In conclusion, the presence of depressive symptoms in the follow-up period was found to negatively interfere with the possibility of developing psychological growth.

“…For example, in their review, Mikulincer & Shaver (2007b) found that priming a sense of attachment security was associated with a range of positive outcomes, such as reduced availability of trauma-related thoughts for participants with PTSD (Mikulincer, Shaver, & Horesh, 2006), and increased willingness to help a distressed stranger (Mikulincer, Shaver, Gillath, & Nitzberg, 2005).…”
