Assessing adult attachment status with clinically-orientated interviews: a brief report.
The object of this study was to examine the possibility of using clinically-orientated interviews to gain a similar attachment classification to the Adult Attachment Interview. Little agreement on classifications was shown between the two interviews, showing insufficient evidence to suggest that it is possible to assess adult attachment status using clinically-orientated interviews.
