Explorations into Attachment Classifications

Focusing on the internal experiences of insecure attachments, this book utilizes the Attachment Story Completion Test to examine at-risk children aged 8-12 in South Africa. It critiques traditional classifications of attachment by exploring the psychological dimensions often overlooked in attachment theory. Through an object relational analysis, the author sheds light on how these children's internal worlds shape their relational functioning, offering a deeper understanding of attachment beyond observable behaviors.
