Introduction: Approximately 163 million minors in 93 countries do not have parents or permanent reference figures. Children living in institutions are more prone to developing insecure attachments. However, quantitative studies are still scarce. Objective: To study the possible differences in the type of attachment between institutionalized adolescents and control adolescents raised with their relatives. Method: We applied the short version of the CaMir-R (Cartes, Modeles Individuels de Relation) to 319 adolescents, of whom 20 were institutionalized. Results: Significantly lower scores resulted in security and parental interference in the institutionalized group compared to the control group. In the group of institutionalized participants, a higher percentage of insecure attachment resulted, whereas in the control group, the majority showed a secure one. Discussion and conclusions: The results are consistent with the theoretical postulates and previous studies. These results can be beneficial to prevent psychopathologies in institutionalized adolescents. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: adherence to the indicated hours of fasting in patients undergoing surgical anesthetic procedures is influenced by many factors. Material and methods: a cross-sectional, observational and descriptive study was carried out with a convenience sample of 500 patients with the objective of knowing the adherence to the indications of preoperative fasting hours in pediatric patients who undergo an anesthetic procedure and its repercussions. ASA I, II and III patients, 0 to 18 years old, hospitalized for elective surgery with preoperative periods within normal limits with indications for preoperative fasting were included. Measures of central tendency were used for the demographic variables; Pearson’s p was used for the correlation of variables. Results: it was possible to observe that more than half of the patients (59.6% of the total sample) had more than 8 hours of preoperative fasting; of them only 68 (13.6%) presented hypoglycemia. Conclusions: adherence to the indications of the hours of preoperative fasting was low (only 40% of the total study population had adequate fasting). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Attachment is a critical element of the origin of emotional dependence, and one of the most studied consequences of emotional dependence is its role in the development of anxious-depressive symptomatology. Self-compassion has been shown to be a protective factor against anxiety and depression, but no studies have been found that relate it to emotional dependence. Therefore, the three objectives of the present study were to analyse the relationship between these variables; to study whether sociodemographic variables influence these variables; to test whether emotional dependence mediates the relationship between attachment and dysfunctional psychological symptomatology; and to determine whether these relationships are moderated by self-compassion. The sample consisted of 940 adolescents (55.7% female and 44.3% male) from Spain. Emotional dependence was found to mediate the relationship between attachment and dysfunctional psychological symptomatology, and these relationships were moderated by self-compassion. Self-compassion is recognised as having a protective effect on levels of emotional dependence, stress, anxiety and depression. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Attachment styles are relatively long-lasting emotional bonds between an individual and one or more people who are emotionally important to him or her. Family functioning, on the other hand, refers to how problems are resolved within the family environment without compromising the satisfaction of the needs of its members. The objective of this study was to determine the relationship between attachment styles and family functioning in adolescents. The research had a quantitative, correlational and cross-sectional approach, with a sample made up of 90 adolescents (56.6% men; 43.4% women), aged between 16 and 17 years. To measure the variables, the Internalized Relationship Models Attachment Questionnaire in its reduced version CAMIR-R and the Family Functioning Perception Questionnaire (FF-SIL) were used. The results indicated that the secure attachment style predominated (97%), the moderately functional level prevailed (56%), in addition, no significant differences were found in attachment according to sex. A statistically significant positive correlation was found between secure attachment and family functioning and a negative correlation between avoidant attachment and family functioning.

Studies on optimism have experienced significant growth. Within the framework of associated factors, one line of research that has received less attention in this area is the influence that certain parental characteristics have on the development of optimistic responses in their children. This research provides two studies this field. In Study 1, N = 189 dyads (parent and child), we examined the relationship between parental attachment and children’s optimism. Study 2 (N = 327 children and adolescents) examines the relationship between children’s attachment and their optimism. The results demonstrated an association between parental attachment avoidance and children’s optimism, as well as a relationship between attachment quality and optimism in the child and youth population. These results suggest that attachment with parental figures could favour the development of dispositional optimism. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

There has been a dramatic shift in the way that psychotherapy is delivered, supervised, and taught following the COVID-19 pandemic. With screens and sensory based technology seemingly everywhere and anywhere in our daily lives, many people in and out of the psychotherapy community were forced into an expanding virtual world that can sometimes be seen as foreign and alien, but can also afford new possibilities and experiences. In this article I will invite practitioners to reflect on their relationship with technology and consider interpersonal and political dynamics at play. I will offer some emerging thoughts and observations about the virtual space that is co-created when relating through screens and how might we begin to understand the shift in the way that we relate and identify online. I will invite readers to account for new emerging issues of inclusion, exclusion and power presented as a result of these changes, and explore what might be gained by paying attention to these dynamics.

El impacto de los estilos de apego de los profesionales de salud mental sobre su propia vulnerabilidad psicosocial no ha sido exiguamente explorado en la literatura. Por tal motivo, la presente investigación se propuso analizar posibles vinculaciones entre tres estilos de apego adulto (seguro, ansioso y evitativo) y el síndrome de desgaste por empatía (SDE), entendido como riesgo psicosocial entre profesionales de salud mental. Sobre una muestra de 324 psicólogos y psiquiatras santafesinos se recolectaron datos mediante escalas validadas. Análisis correlacionales indican vinculaciones significativas entre SDE, apego seguro y apego ansioso. Análisis de regresión lineal múltiple muestran que ambos explican el 16% y 11% respectivamente de la varianza del desgaste por empatía. Los hallazgos señalan al apego seguro como factor protector frente al desgate por empatía, e iluminan el riesgo psicosocial que conlleva el apego ansioso en profesionales psicólogos y psiquiatras.

The study explored the relationships between maternal sensitivity, secure base behavior (SBB), and secure base scripts (SBS) in 34 mother-child dyads from Lima, Peru, assessed at two times during preschool years. The hypothesis was that maternal sensitivity would have a direct relationship with the SBS (representational aspect of attachment), however it has an indirect relationship, through the SBB (behavioral aspect of attachment). The selection of the sample was intentional. At time 1 of the study, children were 45.26 months old on average (SD = 7.132) and in time 2 they were 58.09 (DE = 7.025). The Maternal Behavior for Preschoolers Q-Set (MBPQS) was used to measure maternal sensitivity, the Attachment Q-Set (AQS) to assess SBB, and the Attachment Story Completion Task (ASCT) to assess SBS. A path analysis was performed. The results indicate that maternal sensitivity, measured at time 1, has a direct relationship with the SBS of the children assesed at time 2, and it has an indirect effect on the SBS through the SBB that was measured at time 1. This study is pioneer in the Peruvian and Latin American context to evaluate these relationships longitudinally and opens a research line to know better the relationship between these attachment theory constructs. However, results are preliminary given the small size of the sample. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The working environment of social educators working at youth centres is highly complex, with an additional challenge being the fact that the children under their care are often presented with a number of challenges. Certain variables related with affective development and emotional competencies are crucial for effective management of social work. The present research explores the relationships between attachment styles, emotional intelligence and work engagement among social educators working at youth centres catering to minors at risk of social exclusion in Andalusia. Present findings revealed significant patterns of association between attachment styles formed during childhood and emotional intelligence in educators working with such minors. It was observed that educators reporting secure attachments perceived themselves as to have a high ability to manage their emotions, whilst those reporting insecure attachments perceived themselves to have less ability. Secure attachment styles did not directly impact levels of work engagement. In contrast, professionals who perceived themselves as having a high ability to intelligently regulate their emotions showed higher engagement in terms of their job functions. Present findings suggest that the relationship of emotional intelligence with attachment and work engagement, plays a crucial role in determining levels of energy, enthusiasm and dedication exhibited by social educators in contexts of care provision for children at risk of social exclusion. This has important implications for the design of socioemotional interventions and support programs in social care provision at youth centres. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article presents a review of the role of parents in the sociomoral development of children from different theoretical perspectives. Emphasis is placed on the role of parents as attachment figures and on the opportunities for parental scaffolding derived from the conflicts that are processed in the family context, opportunities that are related not only to the development of moral concepts, but also to the construction of a sense of moral agency. We conclude by presenting challenges for research in our contexts and for the strengthening of parental support processes and policies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The following research on individual involvement and escape motivation is presented to open the possibility that studies of 'involvement' may reveal different areas for psychotherapy than the predominant concept of 'attachment', which has formed the basis of new and existing therapies. Particularly, whether notions of 'involvement capacity', 'escape motivation' and other involvement typologies, as well as the psychological/sociological interplay between individual and organisational/societal perspectives, are pertinent for psychotherapy. The previously unpublished research, a follow-up to a 1979 study, again combining psychological and sociological methodologies for researching involvement, reinforced that a significant theme, not given attention in the literature, was that people also work to escape from their personal problems. Organisational/managerial perspectives are contrasted with individual perspectives and notions as Etzioni's moral and alienative involvement are re-evaluated. Mixed methods were used including Bruner's narrative analysis, Weber's ideal types, and a phenomenological stance influenced by existentialism and psychoanalysis. The results arising from this empirical study of people who are nurses in the context of a subsequent literature review indicate they are motivated to get involved in work: to escape personal problems; earn money; and, for the satisfaction from the work itself. There are also detrimental effects arising from the 'emotional labour' required. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: The Inventory of Parental-Peer Attachment (IPPA) is an internationally recognized measure to assess the attachment of adolescents to their parents and peers. The objective of this study was to examine the psychometric properties of the IPPA in a sample of Spanish adolescents with behavioural problems. Method: The sample was composed of 294 Spanish adolescents (53% girls) with behavioural problems. The IPPA mother, father, and peer versions, along with other related measures, were administered. Results: The 25-item scale, distributed into three factors, was confirmed for both the mother and father versions but not for the peer version. The IPPA showed adequate values of reliability ranging from .79 to .86. Validity was demonstrated through correlations with emotional intelligence, antisocial behaviour, and aggressiveness. Conclusion: The three-factor version of the IPPA is a useful, reliable, and valid scale to assess the attachment of adolescents with problematic behaviours and their parents. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: Non-marital romantic relationship dissolutions (RRDs) are common among emerging adult students (EAS) and may result in severe distress and suicidality. However, studies on RRDs in youth are limited to mental health sequelae of depression and prolonged grief. Little is known about the association between RRDs and posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS), and how this compares to posttraumatic stress symptoms following a traumatogenic event. Objective: We aimed to determine the association between RRDs and PTSS in an EAS sample; and how this compared to the association between posttraumatic stress symptoms and a Diagnostic and Statistical Manual 5th edition (DSM-5) traumatic event. Method: University students (N = 2,022; female = 71.1%; 18–25 years) completed a demographic and relationship questionnaire, the Life Events Checklist, the Adverse Childhood Experiences questionnaire, and the Posttraumatic Stress Checklist (PCL). We compared EAS with an RRD (n = 886) or a DSM-5 criterion A traumatic event (n = 592) against a control group (n = 544) exposed to a non-traumatic stressful life event. Utilising ANOVAs and Pearson's correlations we determined demographic and clinical variables associated with PTSS. ANCOVA and stepwise hierarchical regression analyses were used to determine between-group differences in PTSS. Results: Total trauma exposure and adverse childhood experiences, sex, monthly income, sexual orientation, and attachment style were significantly associated with PTSS. The RRD group had significantly higher PCL scores compared to the DSM and control groups. The mean PCL scores for both the RRD and DSM groups were above the cut-off score of 33, consistent with a probable posttraumatic stress disorder diagnosis. Significantly more RRD participants (72.9%) scored above the cut-off score of 33 than DSM-5 Trauma Group participants (55.4%). Conclusion: An RRD is a potentially traumatic event and is significantly associated with PTSS, similar to a posttraumatic stress disorder diagnosis. Students may experience non-marital romantic relationship breakups as very painful, with various negative psychological, physical, and academic consequences. However, their painful experiences are often trivialised as something to 'just get over' and not acknowledged as potentially traumatic. Yet, using an attachment theory framework, breakups can be reconceptualised as subjectively traumatic. We explored the differences in posttraumatic stress symptoms of students who experienced a breakup, a traumatic event (as defined in psychiatry), and other non-traumatic life events. Students who experienced a breakup reported significantly highly posttraumatic stress symptoms. Acknowledging students' pain following a self-defined traumatic breakup can increase help-seeking behaviour and reduce the risk of intergenerational attachment trauma. Our findings warrant further research of breakups as potentially traumatogenic events. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

El estudio exploró las relaciones entre la sensibilidad materna, la conducta de base segura (CBS) y las representaciones del guión de base segura (RGBS) en 34 díadas madre-hijo o hija de Lima-Perú evaluadas en dos momentos durante la etapa preescolar. La hipótesis del estudio fue que la sensibilidad materna tendría una relación directa con las RGBS (aspecto representacional del apego), así como una relación indirecta, a través de las CBS (aspecto comportamental del apego). La selección de la muestra fue intencional. En el primer momento de estudio, los niños y niñas tenían en promedio 45,26 meses de edad (DE = 7,132) y en el segundo momento tenían 58,09 (DE = 7,025). Para medir la sensibilidad materna se utilizó el Behavior for Preschoolers Q-Set (MBPQS), el Attachment Q-Set (AQS) para evaluar la CBS y el Attachment Story Completion Task (ASCT) para evaluar las RGBS. Se realizó un análisis de senderos. Los resultados indican que la sensibilidad materna, medida en el primer momento, tiene una relación directa con las RGBS de los niños y niñas en el segundo momento. Además, la sensibilidad materna tiene un efecto indirecto sobre las RGBS a través de la CBS medida en el primer momento. Este estudio es pionero en el contexto peruano y latinoamericano y abre una línea de investigación que profundiza en la relación longitudinal de estos constructos de la teoría del apego. Sin embargo, los resultados son preliminares dado el tamaño pequeño de la muestra participante.

Las investigaciones sobre estudiantes de formación profesional son escasos en España. Mientras que se han realizado más investigaciones sobre estudiantes universitarios, son pocos los estudios que comparan estudiantes de formación profesional y estudiantes universitarios de edad equivalente. El objetivo de esta investigación era analizar la adaptación académica y personal-emocional del alumnado universitario y de formación profesional, y relacionarla con el apego adulto y variables familiares como el nivel educativo de los padres, las relaciones parentales, el estrés y la satisfacción familiar. La muestra del estudio estuvo formada por 251 estudiantes españoles de entre 18 y 25 años: 110 estudiantes de formación profesional y 141 estudiantes de universidad. Los instrumentos utilizados fueron la Bidirectional Parent-Adolescent Relationships Scale (BiPAR), la Escala de Satisfacción Familiar, la Escala de Estrés Familiar, el Cuestionario de Apego Adulto (con las subescalas Baja autoestima, Resolución hostil de conflictos, Expresión de sentimientos y Autosuficiencia emocional), y el Student Adaptation to College Questionnaire (SACQ) (con las subescalas Adaptación personal-emocional y Adaptación académica). Los resultados no revelaron diferencias significativas entre los estudiantes universitarios y los de formación profesional en su adaptación personal-emocional o académica. La adaptación personal-emocional en ambos casos se relacionó negativamente con la baja autoestima y positivamente con la satisfacción familiar, mientras que la adaptación académica se relacionó negativamente con la baja autoestima y la autosuficiencia emocional y positivamente con la satisfacción familiar y la expresión de sentimientos. Estos datos apuntan directa e indirectamente al papel de las variables familiares relacionales en la adaptación de los/as adultos/as jóvenes.

Este artículo presenta los resultados de una investigación cualitativa sobre las significaciones que el acto de cantar canciones de cuna posee para madres de la provincia del Elqui en la región de Coquimbo, Chile. Nuestro principal objetivo fue dilucidar las ideas respecto a las funciones que ha cumplido este canto en las propias vidas de las madres y cómo estas significan dicha práctica musical. A partir de entrevistas y grupos de discusión buscamos develar propósitos más profundos del cantar canciones de cuna, los que trascienden la mera intención de calmar y ayudar a dormir.

Despite the empirical evidence on the important role of early adverse experiences in physical and mental health of the last three decades, some confusion about concepts still persists concerning the complex relationship between adversity, stress, and trauma. Conceptual advances are needed favoring an approach from primary, secondary, and tertiary health models. In line with this, the main goal of the present paper is to develop a transactional synthesis of the existing relationship between early adversity, stress system, trauma and attachment system, involved neurobiological mechanisms, as well as their consequences and challenges for mental health during development and later life. Using the narrative revision method, fundamental literature will be suggested and critically discussed in a selective way. We propose that a transactional and multilevel approach is useful to highlight the possibilities that emerge from analyzing the continuum between protective factors, adversity, and trauma, emphasizing the complex structure of their connections with trauma psychobiology.

The aim of this article is to analyze the intersubjectivity (understood as a psychic space different from that of the subjects that constitute it and that enables the establishment of a new reality) in a family session between a violent adolescent and his mother. The analysis is based on the psychoanalytical reading of Maldavsky synthesized in the method of speech analysis called the David Liberman algorithm (DLA) (Maldavsky, 2001, 2004, 2005, 2013), which facilitates observing desires, predominant defenses, pre-conscious-conscious thinking and its slips, focusing on differentiating stories centered on third parties from those centered on the narrator. Through the speech of the adolescent and his mother, it was possible to observe the bond that they managed to establish throughout their lives, in which situations of privation and psychosocial vulnerability predominate.

La investigación tuvo como objetivo estudiar la relación existente entre las representaciones del apego y de la autoestima, en estudiantes de secundaria de la Unidad Educativa Adventista de Bolivia. El método se suscribe en un paradigma positivista con un enfoque cualitativo de tipo descriptivo y correlacional. La técnica fue la encuesta con el cuestionario como instrumento, aplicado a una población de 283 estudiantes con una muestra de 139. Los teóricos principales consultados fueron Montalvo (2019) Calderón (2018) Mendieta (2021) y López (2006) entre otros. Respecto al análisis de la relación entre las variables de estudio, el apego y la autoestima, se pudo observar que no existe correlación significativa, por lo que se rechaza la hipótesis planteada en la investigación. No obstante, a nivel de dimensiones si existen varias relaciones significativas, como la de seguridad de apego y la de autoestima, con una relación directa con la escuela, la familia y la sociedad.

Desarmar una casa no sólo significa inventariar las cosas con que vivimos y lograr encajarlas en un espacio mínimo para poder moverlas. También supone deshacer la familiaridad con un espacio doméstico en específico. Mirando detenidamente esa situación, este texto analiza las formas en que la experiencia de la mudanza deconstruye la cotidianeidad de lo doméstico y activa nuestros sentidos en torno a nuevas interrogantes. A fin de cuentas, deconstruir lo doméstico no significa destruirlo, sino más bien desarmarlo para repensarlo y reorganizarlo.

Research in mental attachment representations that has the most conceptual and empirical breakthroughs is focused in designing assessment instruments based on narratives. From an interdisciplinary perspective, within the fields of psychology and linguistic, this study explores the relationship between the narrative quality, the level of manifestation of the secure base attachment script and the educational level in stories created by 56 mothers of Bogotá, Colombia. Two instruments were used: The Secure Base Attachment Script Assessment (ASA) and the Narrative Quality Assessment (ECAN). The results showed positive and significant associations between the 3 variables of the study: narrative quality, attachment script level and mothers' education level. The Wilcoxon Signed Rank test showed significant differences in narrative quality between the secure base prompt word stories and the non-secure base (neutral) prompt word stories, and in narrative quality and coherence (pragmatic, global and local). The results are discussed from a psychological, linguistic, and socioeducational perspectives. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

El presente artículo tiene como objetivo presentar una práctica educativa dirigida a fomentar la regulación emocional relacionada con el trauma y la seguridad psicológica del alumnado de Educación Primaria (5º y 6º) y Educación Secundaria de cuatro centros escolares privados-concertados de la provincia de Gipuzkoa (España). El marco epistemológico en el que se sustenta la intervención es la teoría polivagal de Porges y la teoría del apego. Mediante una serie de sesiones con los orientadores y tutores escolares, se les proporcionan conocimientos psicoeducativos y orientaciones concretas para favorecer la regulación emocional de los alumnos, usando técnicas como enraizar, tranquilizar, dar seguridad y narrar y aplazar la investigación. Los resultados obtenidos apuntan a una valoración general por parte de los profesores de la experiencia de intervención como positiva (80%), un 16% como muy positiva y un 4% como innecesaria). La modulación emocional de los alumnos en el aula se revela fundamental y los resultados apuntan a una experiencia subjetiva de mayor bienestar y mejora de la salud y de las relaciones. En la discusión se plantea que experiencias como la descrita, a pesar de sus limitaciones, son prometedoras en sus resultados para lograr mejorar la salud y calidad de vida de los alumnos y hacer de la vivencia escolar un lugar seguro, imprescindible para que los niños y adolescentes puedan estudiar y rendir académicamente. Propuestas de este tipo abren la puerta a modelos de conceptualización y gestión de las escuelas como espacios educativos sensibles al trauma, en las cuales toda la comunidad escolar se implica e involucra con los alumnos que hayan sufrido experiencias traumáticas en su vida.

El bebé nace con un sistema nervioso por hacer; pero con un dispositivo básico cuya finalidad es vincularse al adulto encargado de cuidarlo, y aprovechar la interacción con él para ir integrando su funcionamiento, de modo que todos sus componentes participen cuando conviene, según las demandas del entorno, regulando el ánimo, la conducta y la actividad de los sistemas corporales de un modo que garantice una buena adaptación y un estado saludable. La proliferación de las prolongaciones neuronales que construirá las redes que hacen funcionar el cerebro se produce de un modo automático, gracias a un programa genético; pero la poda de esas conexiones, destinada a incrementar su eficiencia, no es algo tan espontáneo; depende mucho más de las experiencias ambientales, entre las que tienen una importancia capital las relaciones interpersonales. Cuando las interacciones con los demás proporcionan experiencias de seguridad y unos estados emocionales regulados, las redes neurales van adquiriendo un funcionamiento integrado, en el que cada área y núcleo cerebral contribuye al mantenimiento de un estado físico y psíquico saludable. Por el contrario, cuando los niños y niñas viven experiencias de abandono o negligencia, o bien sufren interacciones marcadas por el abuso emocional, físico o sexual, se producen alteraciones del neurodesarrollo que reducirán las posibilidades de que el sistema nervioso logre un funcionamiento integrado. Todas las formas de maltrato hacen que algunas áreas del cerebro no logren completar su desarrollo, o pierdan capacidad para conectarse con el resto; mientras que otras aumentan tanto su protagonismo y sus conexiones, que tienden a dominar la actividad neural haciendo que gobiernen el funcionamiento mental. El maltrato y la negligencia producen de este modo problemas para mantener un funcionamiento integrado del sistema nervioso; y esta falta de integración acabará perjudicando de por vida la salud mental y física de quien los ha sufrido.

En este artículo quisiera compartir mi experiencia en la práctica diaria llevada a cabo desde la consulta privada, en relación al impacto que puede tener en las familias y en especial en los niños y niñas ciertos eventos que pueden ocurrir en la vida cotidiana. El objetivo no es abordar procesos traumáticos graves, pero sí situaciones o eventos que pueden producir sufrimiento y dolor que requerirán igualmente de un buen acompañamiento e intervención para minimizar el riesgo de que puedan derivar en futuros traumas que comprometan el desarrollo saludable de los niños, niñas y adolescentes. Pero antes abordaré el concepto de trauma y las consecuencias de sufrirlo en edades tempranas y de cómo el contexto familiar y escolar, pueden erigirse como potentes antídotos que favorezcan y colaboren en el alivio de sufrimientos inevitables y prevengan traumas infantiles evitables. Para ello, deberán poder ofrecer cuidados basados en los buenos tratos, el afecto, el respeto, el compromiso y la empatía. Padres y madres que dispongan de las competencias parentales y marentales suficientes, para que puedan ofrecer un cuidado de calidad, y fomentar en la interacción con sus hijos e hijas procesos de resiliencia primaria. Y escuelas sensibles al sufrimiento infantil, que con sus buenas prácticas creen sólidos lazos afectivos con sus alumnos, pudiendo llegar a convertirse en maravillosos tutores de resiliencia secundaria. Una magnifico tandem formado por familia, escuela, que lograrán ascender pronunciadas pendientes, si no se olvidan de la importancia de pedalear juntos. La “espina dorsal” sobre el que se asienta tanto el “cuerpo” del artículo como el “alma” de mi práctica profesional es el Paradigma de los Buenos Tratos y el Modelo de la Traumaterapia Infanto-juvenil Sistémica cuyos creadores son Jorge Barudy y Maryorie Dantagnan.

El objetivo de este artículo es describir la relación de la mentalización y el estilo de apego sobre el afrontamiento del estrés durante la cuarentena por covid-19 en Colombia. En el estudio participaron 253 personas, de las cuales 68 fueron hombres, 184 mujeres y 1 se identificó como otro. Los participantes se eligieron mediante un muestreo no probabilístico de tipo bola de nieve y el cuestionario de datos se distribuyó por redes sociales. Como instrumentos de investigación se utilizó el Cuestionario de Afrontamiento frente al Estrés (cae) —la forma revisada de la eec-r—, medida de autoinforme diseñada para evaluar siete estilos básicos de afrontamiento; el Cuestionario de Experiencias en Relaciones Cercanas-revisado (ecr) y el Cuestionario de Función Reflexiva (rfq-8). En los resultados se encontraron correlaciones entre el estilo de apego y la mentalización con el estilo de afrontamiento frente al estrés durante el aislamiento por la pandemia covid-19. Se evidenció que un estilo de apego seguro facilita estilos de afrontamiento más adaptativos, a diferencia de los estilos de apego ansioso y evitativo que están más relacionados con estilos de afrontamiento como la auto focalización negativa y la evitación.

Objetivos. Analizar la relación entre el apego y la autoestima en jóvenes y adolescentes y examinar la relación entre la autoestima y la autoexpresión social, con el fin de integrar los resultados en un modelo de encadenamiento causal. Método. Participaron 387 adolescentes y jóvenes quienes completaron autoinformes. Se realizaron análisis de regresión y modelado de ecuaciones estructurales. Resultados. Tanto el apego seguro como el inseguro predijeron significativamente la autoestima de los participantes. La autoestima resultó ser un predictor significativo de la autoexpresión social. Se concluye que el apego seguro aumenta la posibilidad de desarrollar una autoestima fortalecida y esta, a su vez, promueve la capacidad del individuo para expresarse socialmente. Contrariamente, el apego inseguro debilita la autoestima, lo que conduce a un detrimento de la autoexpresión social.

When studying self-injury, depression is a constant, however, contextual factors that are related to both problems are left out. The aim of the present study was to analyze the effects of Internet addiction, parent and peer attachment on the relationship between depression and self-harm and to explain self-harm through the mediation of Internet addiction. 433 adolescents from secondary school participated in the study. The self-harm certificate, the Beck IA depression inventory, the parent and peer attachment inventory for adolescents and the Internet addiction test were applied. A mediation analysis was performed that obtained a direct effect of 0.13 and a total of 0.20, showing that Internet addiction has a potentiating effect. We also performed a moderation analysis obtaining a conditional effect of 0.12 which shows a buffer effect of communication and trust with parents. Young people with traits of depression will decrease their self-harm behaviors thanks to greater communication and trust with their parents and adolescents who are addicted to the internet will increase the probability of engaging in self-harm behaviors. The fact that the study is not causal and that there are few references from the Latin American context are a limitation.

Lo materno es una matriz original que procura dar vida y sostenerla. Pero es tan delicada que si no se cuida y se sostiene adecuadamente puede generar exactamente lo contrario. Lo materno, su rol, su función, y su necesidad, es sumamente ideal pero no deja de ser agobiante, sobre todo en estos días, en donde las mujeres hemos perdido nuestros propios espacios de referencia, nuestros círculos de encuentro, y de mutua asistencia, por lo que nos encontramos maternando en absoluta soledad. Revisando diferentes puntos de vista, tanto biológicos como psicológicos hago un recorrido, a veces sinuoso sobre la importancia de maternar y la figura de apego. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Studies conducted with children and adolescents suggest that long-term exposure to adverse events and the lack of emotional and psychosocial support can lead to complex traumatizing conditions (C_ PSPT), providing difficulties that affect emotional regulation, cognition, interpersonal relationships and the constitution of identity. The aim of this essay is to reflect on about the cognitive, more specifically executive function abilities, emotional, and attachment dimensions in children, who have been exposed to the experience of violence.

Emotional Regulation (ER) strategies are created depending on the attachment style, as the probability to experiment positive emotions increases. Need for Social Approval (NSA) works as a motivator that guides behavior and facilitates social adaptation, being associated positively with Mental Health (MH). Relationships between attachment styles, ER, NSA, and MH were evaluated. In total, 469 participants answered the Revised Adult Attachment Scale, the ER Questionnaire, the NSA Scale, and the MH Inventory MHI-38. Significant differences were found in all variables regarding attachment styles. Securely attached individuals had the highest psychological wellbeing and used cognitive re-evaluation as an ER strategy. NSA is conceived as a favorable social adjustment strategy that impacts individual's MH, influenced by attachment styles in interaction with ER. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Psychological aggression is the most common manifestation of intimate partner violence. Literature demonstrates that attachment and jealousy can predict intimate partner violence. The aim of this study was to test a theoretical model in which jealousy is a mediator between attachment and psychological aggression. This is a quantitative study, with cross-sectional and explanatory design. A sample of 600 people, aged between 18 and 65 years old, residing in 13 Brazilian states, was investigated. A Sociodemographic data questionnaire, Psychological Aggression Sub-scales (CTS2), Questionnaire on the Affective Relationships (QAR), Interpersonal Jealousy Scale (IJC) and Adult Attachment Scale (AAS 2) were used. Structural equation modeling indicated that jealousy functioned as a mediator between attachment and psychological aggressions, alerting to the possibility of prevention in conjugality through early interventions.

Numerous works and clinical research conducted in various institutions have cast fresh light on the notion of trauma and have contributed to the emergence of the concept of early relational trauma. Early relational trauma is a form of trauma rendered complex by the multiplicity of its sources and its modes of expression. Its main features are often attachment and acting-out disturbances. In families where such trauma occurs, links could sometimes be perverted and form a narcissistic configuration. This mode of functioning, organized around negativity, impacts the plurality of psychic processes and interferes with the treatment approaches of multidisciplinary teams. In order to promote a multifocal approach to care tailored to differences in situations, educational and socio-judicial practitioners. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
