Attachment, mentalization and antisocial personality disorder: The possible contribution of mentalization-based treatment (2011, methodology): “All of these studies investigated attachment in violent personality-disordered offenders and have assessed attachment status using the Adult Attachment Interview (AAI) (George, Kaplan, & Main, 1996; Hesse, 2008; Main & Goldwyn, 1994).”
The widening scope of mentalizing: a discussion (2011, methodology): “More specifically, work from our lab suggests that mothers coded as securely attached on the Adult Attachment Interview prior to the birth of the child manifest higher levels of oxytocin when in the presence of their child (Strathearn, Fonagy, Amico, & Montague, 2009).”
Fathers in attachment theory and research: a review (2010, background): “These parents can hence foster their own infants’ security, irrespective of whether the remembered family of origin attachment relationships were secure or insecure (see Hesse, 2008, for explanations regarding insecure states of mind).”
The first 10,000 Adult Attachment Interviews: distributions of adult attachment representations in clinical and non-clinical groups (2009, background): “More recently, a fifth category, ‘‘cannot classify’’ (CC) has been identified (Hesse, 1996, 1999, 2008).”
A developmental, mentalization-based approach to the understanding and treatment of borderline personality disorder (2009, background): “The activation of the attachment system by the threat of maltreatment is followed by proximity seeking, which drives the child closer to an experience of threat leading to further (hyper)activation of the attachment system (Hesse, 2008).”
ATTACHMENT THEORY AND RESEARCH: OVERVIEW WITH SUGGESTED APPLICATIONS TO CHILD CUSTODY (2011, background): ““Cannot classify” encompasses all globally anomalous transcripts which cannot readily be assigned to the secure, dismissing or preoccupied categories, and several sub-types are being uncovered (see Hesse, 2008).”
Adult attachment measures: a 25-year review. (2010, methodology): “Rigorous psychometric testing and meta-analyses of the AAI demonstrate stability and discriminant and predictive validity in both clinical and nonclinical populations [18,33– 35].”
Mentalizing in the Development and Treatment of Attachment Trauma (2013, background): “The relative incoherence of these interviews takes one of two forms (Hesse, 2008; Main, Hesse & Goldwyn, 2008).”
Invariance of adult attachment across gender, age, culture, and socioeconomic status? (2010, background): “For example, Main, Hesse, and their co-workers (as summarized by Hesse, 2008) have demonstrated that infant disorganized attachment transforms into controlling forms of attachment at kindergarten age, and that disorganized infants tend to become dismissing as adults.”
Empathy from infancy to adolescence: An attachment perspective on the development of individual differences (2017, background): “Developmental Review (2017), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.dr.2017.09.002 young children, has been empirically linked to early caregiving experiences (see Hesse, 2016).”
Sex Differences in Attachment Emerge in Middle Childhood: An Evolutionary Hypothesis (2010, methodology): “Researchers should not reduce the differences between the AAI and the ECR to differences in method only (as we did previously; see Bakermans-Kranenburg & van IJzendoorn, 2009a), or to their alleged focus on the past (AAI) versus the present (ECR or the ECR–”
Psychobiological research on attachment (2010, methodology): “…of “state of mind with respect to attachment” assessed with the Adult Attachment Interview (AAI; Main, Kaplan, & Cassidy, 1985; see the recent review by Hesse, 2008) – an interview that focuses on narrative accounts of childhood experiences with attachment figures (Rifkin-Graboi, 2008; Roisman,…”
New directions in attachment theory and research (2010, background): “…aspects of a parent’s (or parent-to-be’s) “state of mind regarding attachment” that were predictive of the current or eventual attachment behavior of the parent’s infant, and it did this very effectively (Hesse, 2008), but without this fact necessarily making the AAI a measure of “attachment.””
