Using attachment theory to understand illness behavior.

TL;DR: A model of illness as a stressor that activates an individual's characteristic attachment behaviors is examined, providing a unique, simple, and pragmatically useful model for understanding the particular ways that individuals can feel and react when stressed by illness, and how the professional may help manage that distress.
Journal ArticleDOI

Journal ArticleDOI
