This multiple-case study explored women's relational experiences as attachment injury patterns in distressed stepcouple relationships and how these experiences might be attributable to stepcouple status. The first author interviewed five stepmothers with biological children, using open-ended interview questions developed from attachment theory and existing research regarding attachment injury and stepfamily formation. Data analysis using the pattern-matching method derived and explored markers of attachment injury in the women's stepcouple relationships. The four categories of attachment injury showed significant attribution to stepfamily issues. This supports past stepfamily research suggesting that stepcouples face unique challenges. Further, these findings suggest that the language of attachment injury accurately describes stepcouples' problems and the usefulness of conceptualizing and addressing these problems in an attachment injury framework.
本多案例研究探讨了女性在困扰的继亲关系中作为依恋伤害模式的关系体验，以及这些体验如何归因于继亲身份。第一作者采访了五位有亲生子女的继母，使用了从依恋理论和现有的关于依恋伤害和继亲家庭形成的研究中发展出来的开放式访谈问题。使用模式匹配方法对数据进行分析，探讨了女性继亲关系中依恋伤害的标志。这四类依恋伤害与继亲问题有显著的关联。这支持了过去关于继亲家庭的研究，表明继亲夫妇面临着独特的挑战。此外，这些发现表明，依恋伤害的语言准确地描述了继亲夫妇的问题，以及在依恋伤害框架中概念化和解决这些问题的有用性。
