En un número anterior de esta revista, ofrecí una introducción al Modelo dinámico-madurativo (DMM) de apego y adaptación de la Dra. Patricia M. Crittenden. El DMM es un modelo biopsicosocial, basado en la investigación del desarrollo neurológico, y como tal ofrece una comprensión del desarrollo de la amplia gama de adaptaciones utilizadas por las personas que están en peligro o que ponen en peligro a otros, o que pueden necesitar apoyo psicológico o social por una amplia variedad de razones. El DMM es un modelo basado en fortalezas, no etiquetado y no patologizante que conceptualiza las adaptaciones al peligro como estrategias de autoprotección que promueven la supervivencia en su contexto original, pero que más tarde pueden conducir a un comportamiento problemático, peligroso o autodestructivo. Este artículo se centra en las aplicaciones clínicas del DMM, que incluye principios de evaluación, formulación y atención basados en el DMM.
