title: [The link between ambivalent-preoccupied mode of attachment and narcissistic vulnerability in adolescence].
abstract: Attachment research has deepened our understanding of the essential continuities and discontinuities of psychological development from childhood to adolescence and to adulthood. This paper considers the relevance of ambivalent-preoccupied attachment, one of the two types of insecure attachment, for understanding emotional vulnerability during adolescence. How current social and economic conditions have exacerbated the effects of ambivalent-preoccupied attachment in the attainment of the developmental tasks of adolescence is considered. By describing three clinical vignettes clinical recommendations are given.
