Attachment styles can be described as the way in which we relate to others … They are the template for what we can expect from the world around us. An attachment style includes the basis of our self-concept, how willing we are to trust others (or trust issues), and the strategies we use to manage our emotions.

CONT

Un style d'attachement découle d'un ensemble de comportements adaptatifs. La façon dont des parents – ou les «figures d'attachement» – interagissent avec leur enfant va largement déterminer le style d'attachement que ce dernier va développer à leur contact […] Cette empreinte initiale va suivre l'enfant au cours de son évolution et constituera le modèle de toutes ses relations futures.
