Disorganized Romantic Attachment
(click to see the book)
Over half of all couples who seek marital therapy experience chronic
hostility, over-controlling behaviors, out of control emotions, and are
unable to successfully talk to their mates about their most important
thoughts and feelings.
Chronic hostility in marriage can result in a whole range of health
problems, some of them life-threatening.
In my research I discovered that some people who use a variety of
hostile-controlling behaviors in romantic relationships had histories
of early childhood attachment disorganization.
Infant and early childhood attachment experiences form the basis of
close personal interactions in later life and in adult romantic
relationships. In fact, childhood attachment experiences actually help
shape early neural structures in the brain responsible for processing
information related to close attachment relationships.
I identified three different 'disorganized controlling' attachment
patterns in adults that stemmed from childhood disorganization. In
childhood these individuals develop patterns of relationship hostility,
coercion, and other forms of control AA to obtain feelings of security
and love.
Unfortunately, the very security they seek is destroyed by their
destructive hostile or controlling behaviors.
