Resilience and Corrective Attachment Experience of a Woman raised in a High-Risk Environment with Maternal Suicide, Child Abuse, and Bullying

Abstract

It is becoming increasingly clear that some adults who may presently have a secure attachment style may have had an insecure attachment style in their infancy. In this study, we assumed that earned-secure people acquired a high resilience and secure attachment style through a sense of security offered by their significant other. Therefore, questionnaires and interviews were conducted to investigate relationships among resilience, attachment, and earned security of one woman. The results of the study showed that she derived a great sense of security from her significant other, and that she has high resilience.
