N2  - The role of insecure attachment as a predictor of outcome was investigated in 134 women who reported histories of child abuse and completed an inpatient program for treatment of traumatic stress. Multiple linear regressions were used to predict the change scores on four outcome measures at discharge and 6-month follow-up. Higher levels of feared loss of the attachment figure independent of demographics, symptomatic severity, and trauma exposure consistently predicted poorer outcome at both post-tests. Interventions that focus on internal models of attachment and current attachment relationships may improve outcome in women reporting severe abuse in childhood.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
