Attachment and Human Development, 16(2), 103-136
Groh and colleagues examine the contributions of attachment theory to developmental psychopathology. The chapter reviews the major elements and methods of attachment theory and research and considers evidence on the environmental and genetic determinants of attachment, continuity in attachment processes over short and long periods, the link with emerging psychopathology, candidate mediating mechanisms, and attachment-focused interventions. It closes with the broader relevance of attachment theory for understanding change in psychological therapies.
