- This paper provides the first computational model of how child/parent dyadic interactions lead to one of four possible equilibrium states: secure, or one of three insecure attachment types. Connolly (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6060308/) uses our results to support a model for psychological defence mechanisms ("This simulation provides some support for the key propositions of attachment theory [...]"). The paper led to an invited talk at the Int. Attachment Conference, London, 2017 (www.doc.ic.ac.uk/~ae/papers/IAC-2017-Book-of-Abstracts.pdf). The model has been used in several workshops to train therapists in Self-Attachment Psychotherapy (Director of ICSS, contact: FoEREF@ic.ac.uk).
