Abstract

This article synthesizes a qualitative study on the connection between styles of attachment (established from early relationship experiences with attachment figures) and the adolescent stage which makes them more evident. A case study was used with a methodological combination of clinical-phenomenological and narrative approach with the model of four styles of attachment proposed by Bartholomew and Horowitz (1991), in narrative analyses of life stories, in-depth interviews, and answers to the Object Relations Test (Phillipson, 2005). It was possible to identify characteristics of attachment styles, as well as fear and ideals within the current relationship behavior the young subjects, and the different ways of expression of the bonds between attachment styles and the relationships which are established with others during adolescence.
