“…The results of this study specifically highlight the importance of the individual resolving or containing the loss and trauma in a coherent and integrated fashion. 'Unresolved' individuals have been observed to experience frequent crises and have difficulty connecting current thoughts and feelings to past losses and traumas (Bernier and Dozier, 2002). Thus, one goal of therapeutic intervention would be to help the individual connect current thought patterns, feelings and actions to their past.…”

This exploratory investigation sought to gain a better understanding of the mental representations of attachment in maltreated adolescents, and how, if at all, unresolved attachment representations are related to cognitive processes in this population. Measures of cognitive functioning, attachment state of mind and parent ratings on attention were obtained from 38 adolescents with a history of maltreatment. Results showed that maltreated adolescents with unresolved states of mind in regard to attachment scored significantly lower on measures of cognitive processes of attention, working memory and cognitive efficiency, even when intelligence was controlled for in the analyses. KEY WORDS: attachment; child maltreatment; cognitive processes; adolescents A central premise of attachment theory is that the child's early experiences with a primary caregiver impact on the child's interpersonal relationships as well as emotional regulation across the lifespan. Bowlby (1979) predicted that early attachment experiences and the representations of those experiences affect relationships, self-esteem, and self-regulation of emotion and behaviour. Emotion-relevant regulation can be defined as 'the process of initiating, maintaining, modulating, or changing the occurrence, intensity, or duration of internal feeling states, emotion-related

“…The data pertaining to mentoring outcomes (satisfaction, relational quality and academic achievement) are consistent with a large body of results that emerged from a different field. A well-replicated finding in the psychological counseling literature is that dissimilarities on interpersonal characteristics are related to better process and outcomes in counseling (see Bernier and Dozier, 2002 for a review). Nelson and Neufeldt (1996) explain this phenomenon by suggesting that people who experience difficulty with autonomy (such as those presenting a preoccupied attachment state of mind) can benefit from working with an independent person who seems to be interpersonally competent.…”

“…Client characteristics such as gender, attachment state, self-image, and aggressive and suicidal behavior have been found to lead to therapist reactions such as positive and negative feelings about the client and therapist perceptions of the likelihood of a client engaging in treatment (e.g. Armelius & Holmqvist, 2003;Bernier & Dozier, 2002;Holmqvist, 1998;Kiesler, 1996;Rossberg & Friis, 2003). Therapist source characteristics such as therapist gender, self-image, experience, unresolved therapist conflicts have also been found related to therapist reactions toward clients such as having distracting thoughts, positive and negative feelings about clients (called counter-transference in a large number of studies), and feelings of confusion, anxiety, and boredom (Armelius & Holmqvist, 2003;Rosenberger & Hayes, 2002;Williams, Polster, Grizzard, Rockenbatjgh, & Judge, 2003).…”

Recently there has been an increasing emphasis in the youth and family mental health treatment literature on the use of empirically supported treatments (ESTs). In contrast there has been scant attention paid to more universal aspects of the therapy process that may have even greater impact upon therapy outcomes. It is likely that the success of the techniques proposed by ESTs may depend on the presence of common process factors. In this article, the authors explore the status of common process factors research in the youth and family therapy literature, and propose a theoretical model linking specific therapeutic relationship variables and treatment outcomes for children and adolescents. This model is intended to guide synthesis of the empirical evidence for common process factors in youth and family treatment and to stimulate future research on common process factors.
