Among adolescents, research has linked insecure attachment to higher symptoms of both internalizing and externalizing disorders in clinical samples (Lacasa, Mitjavila, Ochoa, & Balluerka, 2015; Venta, Shmueli‐Goetz, & Sharp, 2014), as well as elevated trauma symptoms (Jardin, Venta, Newlin, Ibarra, & Sharp, 2015), suicidal ideation (Venta, Mellick, Shatte, & Sharp, 2014), and borderline personality disorder (covered later in Chapter 13) traits. While these studies point to non‐specific relations between attachment insecurity and psychopathology, the picture becomes a bit clearer when looking just at studies that explore subtypes of insecure attachment. For example, preoccupied attachments have been linked to depression, social problems, aggression, and thought problems (e.g., Lacasa et al., 2015) as well as suicidal ideation (Adam, Sheldon‐Keller, & West, 1996) and eating disorders (Miljkovitch, Pierrehumbert, Karmaniola, Bader, & Halfon, 2005). In contrast, avoidant attachments have generally been linked to externalizing behaviors like oppositional defiant behaviors, conduct problems, social problems, and substance use (Lacasa et al., 2015; Venta et al., 2014). The broad array of psychopathology associated with insecure attachment in adolescents is mirrored among adults, in which studies have linked nearly every form of psychopathology to attachment insecurity (see Mikulincer & Shaver, 2007).
