Abstract

This paper originates from a personal circumstance in the author’s professional and academic journey. It proposes a reflection on a substantial theme that entails a way of conceiving the psychic based on the interpersonal. The paper examines in perspective the impact of attachment theory and points out its value for new psychotherapists: as clinicians, given the pathological continuity of many disorders, and as preventive agents, as it provides tools for the promotion of a healthy development. Attachment theory is linked to psychoanalytic theory and rigorous clinical observation, highlighting the necessary, but oftentimes resisted, proximity
between science and psychoanalysis.
