    The interface between attachment and intersubjectivity: Perspective from the longitudinal study of disorganized attachment

    Full text link
    This article considers the interface between the concepts of attachment and intersubjectivity in light of accumulated research on infant development. Both Tomasello (1999) and Hobson (2002) have argued persuasively that the flexible human capability for sharing mental states with others reframes and revolutionizes our older, more highly channeled primate biological heritage. In contrast to this emphasis on discontinuity from primate to humanevolution, attachment theorists have stressed the continuities between human attachment and attachment in other primates. The implication of new work on infant intersubjectivity for reframing aspects of attachment theory is first explored. By the same token, however, the extent to which the infantcaregiver attachment relationship functions to maintain positive engagement and regulate the infant's fearful arousal will have escalating consequences over development for the organization of intersubjectivity. Therefore, attachment research has much to offer in understanding the development of joint attention and the sharing of mental states under conditions of increased emotional arousal. The potential contributions of attachment research for understanding the development of intersubjectivity are discussed in light of recent work from the author's lab on forms of young adult symptomatology associated -595 -with deviance in the early intersubjective dialogue between mother and infant. The clinical implication emerging from all these diverse areas of research is that fostering more collaborative forms of communication may lie at the heart of evolutionary change, developmental change, and changes resulting from psychodynamic psychotherapy. Rethinking Mechanisms of Attachment during the First Year: Evolution and Intersubjective Awareness Alot has been Written Recently about a Shift in the Basis of evolutionary change from biologic to what I will call dialogic mechanisms, or from -genes to memes.‖ For example, Tomasello (1999) has pointed out that with the relatively recent emergence of Homo sapiens as a species, more complex cultural innovations have been introduced in the last 200,000 years than were introduced in the previous 6 million years. He theorizes that a biological change occurred that shifted the basis for evolutionary change from the biological evolutionary mechanisms that had governed change for 6 million years to cultural evolutionary mechanisms that are many orders of magnitude faster than those of biologic evolution. He, as well as Hobson This capacity for social engagement is manifest first at the level of affective sharing and later at the level of explicit teaching and learning. In -596 -contrast to other primates, the human infant does not have to acquire first hand all the knowledge and experiences necessary to survival. Instead, the infant needs to develop the skills for sharing affective evaluations and intentional states with others. This allows the infant to participate in the cultural learning processes of humansociety. In contrast to the emphasis on discontinuity in evolutionary processes that is highlighted by Tomasello, Hobson, and others, attachment theorists have stressed thecontinuities between human attachment and attachment in other primates. As is well-known, John Bowlby thoroughly documented th

    Primo libro unitario che raccoglie saggi ed articoli di ricerca di Karen Lyons-Ruth. Tutti i saggi provenienti dalla ricerca empirico-clinica pongono l'attenzione allo sviluppo dell'essere umano, al complesso intreccio tra l'evolversi dei processi di regolazione biologici, affettivi e cognitivi, e alla qualità delle relazioni di attaccamento nella prima infanzia

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
