Attachment theory has received increasing attention from clinicians and researchers in the field of eating disorders. This paper is an updated review on theoretical approaches in the field, and of studies employing the Adult Attachment Interview.
We searched the major databases such as PsycInfo and Science Direct for empirical and theoretical studies on attachment and eating disorders, and these are reviewed.
Theoretical approaches on attachment and eating disorders highlight either retrospective, general risk or attachment theoretical statements. There is greater prevalence of insecure attachment in the eating disordered population than in non-clinical samples. However, there is no sufficient evidence to conclude about specific mechanisms for this connection.
The theoretical approaches vary in their theoretical grounding, specificity and empirical support. AAI-based research on attachment and eating disorders is still at an early stage. More advanced studies are required for the field to move forward.
依恋理论在饮食障碍领域的临床医生和研究人员中受到越来越多的关注。本文是对该领域理论方法的最新综述，以及对采用成人依恋访谈的研究的综述。
我们在 PsycInfo 和 Science Direct 等主要数据库中搜索了关于依恋和饮食障碍的实证和理论研究，并对其进行了综述。
依恋和饮食障碍的理论方法强调回顾性、一般风险或依恋理论陈述。在饮食障碍患者中，不安全依恋的发生率高于非临床样本。然而，没有足够的证据来得出关于这种联系的具体机制的结论。
这些理论方法在理论基础、特异性和实证支持方面存在差异。基于 AAI 的依恋和饮食障碍研究仍处于早期阶段。该领域需要更先进的研究才能取得进展。
