Unraveling attachment – A network analysis of the cognitive pathways linking attachment and prolonged grief
Attachment styles indirectly influence PGD through cognitive-behavioral pathways rather than exerting strong direct effects. By bridging the gap between attachment theory and cognitive-behavioral approaches to grief, this study offers a more nuanced understanding of its relationship with PGD and points toward potential new avenues for future interventions aimed at addressing attachment-related challenges in bereaved individuals.
