Bowlby (1969,1973,1980) who proposed the concept of "internal working models" of self and other in attachment relationships, considered that psychopathology such as depression and pathological grief stem from early insecure attachment relationships. He suggested that defensive exclusion of internal working models cause serious emotional disorders. Recent development of AAI (Main & Goldwyn, 1984), which enabled to measure adult attachment representations, has facilitated studying the intergenerational transmission of caregiver-child relationsips and the relation between attachment and various psychopathology. This paper reviewed studies about attachment of children under unfavorable environment, relation of early attachment to children's aggressive behavior, and relation between adult psychopathology and traumatic experiences in early attachment relationships. Finally, some considerations were given to the prevention of intergenerational transmission of traumatic attachment relationships.
