Алтернативен модел за привързаността, адаптивността и патологичното функциониране
An Alternative Model of Attachment, Aadaptability, and Pathological Functioning

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to introduce the Dynamic Maturational Model (DMM; Crittenden, 2006) as an alternative model of attachment and its development across age. In contrast to the categorical ABC+D model, the DMM framework considers different strategies organizing individuals’ interactions according to context. Pathological functioning is defined as rigidity in the strategy used to regulate in a dyad, with poor consideration of context. The model assumes that strategies of self-regulation and adaptation are expanding according to the maturation of the individual, being most influential in early childhood and interaction during this period with the figure of the primary caregiver. Basic types of strategies are distinguished based on processing and distorting both cognitive and affective information. DMM is a bio-psycho-socio-ecological model to explain the attachment and adaptation, offering a holistic approach to prevention and intervention of psychopathological symptoms.
