Dismissive Attachment Analysis
Dismissive Attachment
According to Teyber & Teyber, (2017) attachment researchers measure adult attachment styles on the dimensions of anxiety and avoidance. This produces four types of attachment styles: secure, preoccupied, dismissive, and fearful. These types are categorized into 4 quadrants based on the levels of anxiety and avoidance. Although all classifications have real limits and it is best to remember that nothing fits neatly into a box. Clients will have varying degrees of these styles and levels and any types and level can crossover and change.
While reading this chapter of the Teyber & Teyber (2017) text an 18-year-old female client immediately came to mind. She had stopped coming to therapy for about a month with no reason or

    Summary: The Attachment Theory

    Many researchers have studied attachment; however, John Bowlby and Mary Ainsworth are the researchers responsible for the origination of the attachment theory, therefore also becoming catalysts for the research of attachment in the late eighteenth century. Attachment, as defined by Ainsworth, is “‘an affectional tie’ that an infant forms with a caregiver—a tie that binds them together in space and endures over time” (Berger, 2014, p. 142). Furthermore, as described in Berger, the attachment theory assesses the behaviors associated with four identified types of infant attachment. These four types include secure, insecure-resistant/ambivalent, insecure avoidant, and disorganized attachment. Berger defines each of these types as follows: securely…

    PSYCH 600 Attachment Style

    Birth to three is the most crucial time for an individual when it comes to forming attachment styles. Bartholomew (1990) defines attachment styles as modes of social interactions reflecting how people view themselves as well as others. Bartholomew’s (1990) concept of attachment style crosses two theoretically derived dimensions: a mental mode of self and a mental model of others. The mental mode of one’s self is based on whether a person has an internalized sense of self-worth. The mental mode of others is based on whether a person sees involvement with others to be rewarding. When crossing these dimensions four unique attachment styles emerge; secure, dismissive, fearful, and preoccupied.…

    Close Relationships Ensure Independence

    People with avoidant attachment tend to be comfortable without close emotional relationships. It is very important to them to feel independent and have self-sufficient. They prefer not to depend on others or have others depend on them because they already accepted their situation towards separation. People with this attachment style desire a high level of independence. The desire for independence often appears as an attempt to avoid attachment altogether. Because they have already accepted the separation towards their attachment figure, they view themselves as self-sufficient and safe to feelings associated with being closely attached to others. They often deny needing close relationships. Some may even view close relationships as relatively…

    John Bowlby's View Of Attachment

    Bowlby also goes on to mention that "attachment provides a type of home base" (Feldman, p.186, 2017). Psychologist Mary Ainsworth identified four attachment styles including parenting which were the secure, avoidant, ambivalent, and the disorganized-disoriented attachment pattern. In the secure attachment, children use their parents mostly the mother as a home base and may get upset when she leaves. In the avoidant attachment, children do not seek out their mothers when she is gone and when the mother comes back the child ignores her. In the ambivalent attachment, children who are with their…

    I find myself as a secure attachment style. When I feel vulnerable to injury, I will seek comfort and support from my parents, family members, and loved ones. Oppositely, when my loved ones encounter problems, I am willing to provide them comfort and support. I think that my adult attachment style is related to my parents and my family greatly. I am twins and have a brother that born one minute before me. My father worked a lot when we were little. My parents were afraid that they could not take care of two babies at the same time, so they decided that one of us will be living with our grandmother and uncle’s family from my mother’s side; we would switch every one week. I think that my parents made this decision so they could take care one…
