Assessing attachment style
This month I would like to highlight additional internet resources to help you assess adult attachment style. "Given the emphasis in the AIP model on the potential impact of foundational experiences on responses to later-occurring traumatic exposures, it makes sense to consider adult attachment classification as an important aspect of case formulation. (Leeds, 2009, p. 67).
Chris Fraley is an Associate Professor at the University of Illinois's Department of Psychology who researches attachment processes in close relationships, personality dynamics and development, and research methods. He offer several attachment-related online resources including:
A Brief Overview of Adult Attachment Theory and Research
On-line Attachment Questionnaire (CRQ/ECR-R) (Fraley, Waller, & Brennan, 2000)
This web survey is a broad-based measure of attachment styles in close relationships.
ECR-Relationship Structures
This web application is designed to assess individual differences in attachment across multiple relationships.
Frequently Asked Questions about the Close Relationships Questionnaire (CRQ) or the Experiences in Close Relationships--Revised (ECR-R) questionnaire (Fraley)
