Attachment relationships are the major environmental factors that shape brain development for the infant and young child during
its period of maximal growth. Reluctant aspects of the neurobiology of this situation, the critical period of overproduction of
synapses is genetically determined; the pruning and maintenance of synaptic connections are environmentally driven. Repeated and
expectable patterns of interpersonal connection between a child and an attachment figure are necessary for proper development.
There are always times of disconnection. In each of the forms of insecure attachment, there is a problem with connection and repair.
During all kind of psychotherapy, attachment system is activated. Mentalization and integration are two important processes that are
supposed to repair attachment system, defined by some authors. In this article, besides attachment and psychopathology, attachment
system and its role in psychotherapeutic processes are discussed in the light of scrutinized literature collected from different sources
including PubMed. Finally this literature, a comprehensive literature review of the most current research in child and adolescent
attachment, as well as clinical and therapeutic implications for psychotherapists recognizes the significance of the therapeutic dyad
when working with children and adolescents.
