Disorganized attachment (anxious-avoidant type of attachment)

a contradictory model of behavior in relationships, in which a person simultaneously seeks intimacy and avoids it. The peculiarity is an internal conflict: the child, on the one hand, strives for intimacy with the parent, since this is his only source of security, and on the other hand, he is afraid of him, because the same parent becomes a source of fear. Disorganized attachment is formed in early childhood due to traumatic experiences with parents or significant adults.
