Attachment, social rank, and affect regulation: speculations on an ethological approach to family interaction

Leon Sloman et al. Fam Process. 2002 Fall.

Abstract

The attachment and social rank systems are biological-evolutionary systems that can serve as models for conceptualizing family interaction. By exploring both their unique and interrelated impact on affect regulation, we can differentiate between processes that foster healthy growth and those leading to individual psychopathology. This perspective facilitates the integration of biological and psychological models, and has therapeutic implications. It also integrates well with other family therapy models.
