“…Bartholomew and Horowitz [47], who suggested a different typology than Hazan and Shaver [40] for attachment styles, by including two types of avoidance, found that more men than women had ‘dismissing‐avoidant’ attachment styles, and more women classed themselves as 'fearful‐avoidant. Nonetheless, some researchers proposed that the gender differences in attachment are not universal, but rather, depend on cultural input even within the Western culture [48, 49]. We expected that more women cancer survivors would define themselves with a secure attachment style than men.…”

“…6 In accordance with the present study, Brown et al studied the relationship between the child-rearing styles, attachment styles and worry in anxious children and found that the ambivalent insecure attachment style has more relationship with worry in comparison to secure attachment style. 15 Moreover, Cassidy et al observed that among the patients with GAD, the experience of lack of affection in childhood was more evident, and this group of children were more vulnerable in the relationship with their mothers in comparison to the subjects in the control group. 32 Although the influence of mother's sensitive response to the needs of growing child on the formation of secure attachment in children has been proven in many studies, today psychologists believe that both factors of the caregiver response to the child and the child temperament are important and decisive in the formation of secure attachment in children.…”

“…7 In the study by Brown et al it became clear that insecure ambivalent attachment style had greater relationship with worry in patients with GAD in comparison to secure attachment style. 15 Since major depression disorder (MDD), as a form of mood disorder, as well as obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and GAD, as two forms of anxiety disorders, are among the most common mental disorders that people might face during their lifetime, a need is felt for knowing the etiology of the mentioned disorders and finding the factors that cause and support them.…”

SummaryFunctional short-term disorders provoked by extremely difficult life events are entirely different from the chronic or recurrent ones: anxiety or other "neurotic" syndromes, eating, sexual and some other disorders, not being conditioned behavioral dysfunctions. Chronic/ recurrent disorders seem to have they causes in particular personality traits and deficits. Some of them are revealed, described and could be measured by means of Neurotic Personality Questionnaire KON 2006. In this approach, functional disorder is understood as a structured systems of the particular nonverbal language ("parole") in which symptoms play a role of words while syndromes the role of sentences, expressing the current state of mind -mainly the need of bond with other people and its frustration. They are messages of looking attention, attachment. The use of such language seems to be the result of personality deficits making difficult or even impossible to fulfil the need of bond in the psychosocial field using common for done culture verbal and nonverbal language, "normal" means of communication. While in the acute and conditioned reactions on stress different forms of helping people (e.g. CBT) seems to be adequate, in the chronic and recurrent functional disorders therapy is postulated to aiming rather at transformations of the communication, leading to the exchange of the messages' language having the quality of disorder for common, mainly verbal one. functional disorders /psychopathology/communication Some doubtful paradigms of contemporary psychopathology of functional disordersThe psychopathology and classification of mental health dysfunctions is based on the "phenomenological approach", understood as the description of visible phenomena, mainly symptoms. Groups of symptoms that are more or less distinguished from others and observed repeatedly (at least to some extent) are considered "disorders" or "diseases" and become elements of classification systems. Where borders between such classes are unclear, serious difficulties arise in the diagnostic tasks and from time to time initiatives are called forth to reconstruct them and to "discover" new items ("independent disorders"). This creates an impression of progress of science, being as a matter of fact only an attempt at introducing another, also artificial, order in the chaotic pool of data.It is also problematic that classification systems seem to be subordinated to the rules of administrative tendency for grouping no more than 10 elements in one wide category. For this reason, if there are more than 10 similar "disorders", some are arbitrarily placed into a separate category. This rule proved more important in the differentiation of an independent category
