ATTACHMENT IN THE CONTEXT OF SYSTEMIC PARADIGMS: A MULTIDISCIPLINARY PERSPECTIVE

Summary/Abstract: This paper explores the development of attachment within systemic paradigms, offering a mul- tidisciplinary perspective on the complexity of attachment processes. While classical attachment theory focuses primarily on the relationship between child and caregiver, this article expands the understanding by including familial, social and cultural systems. Based on an extensive literature review that integrates studies from developmental psychology, family therapy and comparative cultural psychology, this paper highlights how systemic and cultural influences shape attachment styles and practices. The findings highlight the need to consider attachment theory within a broader social and cultural context and point to the importance of a multidisciplinary approach for a comprehensive understanding of human attach- ment processes. These findings offer important implications for research and practice by emphasising the complexity of factors that influence the development of attachment.
