A Tightrope Walk Of Trust: An Analysis Of Attachment Styles Of Children Raised By Parents With Psychotic Disorders, Kate E. Crockett

The individuals participating in the study will be contacted through email and all responses will be voluntary. The attachment assessment will be self-administered electronically by the individuals who volunteer …
