The authors show how the theory of attachment has been fundamental to help part of the movement of family therapy to get rid of the limits of a systemic purism that doesn’t consider the evolutive history of the patient and that focuses only on the resources ignoring the limits of the patients and of their families. The theory of attachment is decisive to build up hypotheses, which do not remain confined in the here and now: it can be used as a deductive map that helps the therapist in his work of making hypotheses not only on the development of the patient, but also on problems regarding his childhood and on the reactions of the caregiver. The five re-organizations of the disorganized attachment are a useful guide that puts together the individual personality traits with their possible relational schemes. They help to understand the evolutive paths that lead to different personality disturbs. In this way not only the strategic subject is focused but also the suffering one. These theoric thoughts are explained in a more extensively exposed clinic case and other more concise examples.
