The Psychopathological Domains of Attachment Trauma: A Commentary.
Article in Clinical neuropsychiatry, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The contribution by Farina & Schimmenti (2025) highlights the impact of childhood maltreatment on adult health. Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR), a neurophenomenological approach, proposes that attachment traumas derive from two primary experiences: shock and pain. Shock, often pre-affective, precedes emotions such as fear or anger and can take different forms (implosive, impact). When it dissipates, a deep pain emerges, linked to loneliness, rejection, and existential emptiness. DBR aims to slow down the shock-pain-affect sequence, separating its components to reduce emotional overload and promote regulation. This allows pathological beliefs of unworthiness to be reworked and contradictory attachment patterns to be addressed. The therapy also addresses dissociative symptoms, differentiated into supracortical, intracortical, neurochemical, and structural forms, reducing fragmentation of the self. In conclusion, DBR hypothesizes that attachment traumas result from alterations in midbrain mechanisms of orientation and affective regulation, compromising attachment development, mentalization, and self-esteem.
