Diagnostic Inclusion of Attachment Trauma: A Commentary on Farina and Schimmenti (2025).
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
Farina and Schimmenti (2025) offer an intriguing reconceptualization of attachment trauma as a developmental process arising from relational failures, even in the absence of identifiable traumatic events. We support their emphasis on clinical symptom constellations-such as dissociation, emotional dysregulation, and interpersonal detachment-as markers of attachment-related dysfunction. However, we suggest a change in emphasis. We argue that any diagnostic change might target dysfunction in the attachment system itself, rather than infer the presence of trauma. This distinction aligns with diagnostic frameworks that prioritize functional patterns over historical assumptions. We also encourage the development of trauma-informed principles specific to attachment disruptions. These refinements, we believe, would increase diagnostic clarity and better support treatment planning. We believe that the enhanced focus on attachment-related psychopathologies, as proposed by Farina and Schimmenti, is of value but would benefit from further attention to the issue of reliable measurement.
