Resumen

Este artículo expone las vías de desarrollo del apego desorganizado. Para este cometido en una primera parte se aclara la diferencia entre apego desorganizado y trastorno reactivo de la vinculación que con frecuencia se confunden. A continuación, se expondrán las pruebas para valorar el apego desorganizado a distintas edades y los indicadores que mejor lo identifican.

La última parte del artículo expone las distintas rutas evolutivas que conducen al apego desorganizado. Éstas se han clasificado fundamentalmente en tres categorías: maltrato directo, estados mentales parentales y conductas parentales de riesgo. Como se verá a lo largo de su lectura, el desarrollo de un apego desorganizado es el resultado de distintas rutas evolutivas que en los últimos años se han ido esclareciendo y comprendiendo mejor. Estas distintas rutas no son independientes, sino que en muchas ocasiones convergen y se influyen mutuamente, lo que complejiza el desarrollo de estrategias de apego organizadas en el niño y el adolescente. La comprensión de estas rutas tiene aplicación clínica directa sobre los programas de prevención y tratamiento del maltrato infantil, así como al abordaje y tratamiento de la psicopatología del desarrollo. Esto plantea una necesaria formación de los psiquiatras en la evaluación y tratamiento de interacciones paterno-filiales perturbadas.
