A fourth category termed disorganized attachment (Main & Solomon, 1990) was subsequently identified and empiricized when a sizeable number of infants defied classification in terms of Ainsworth's original tripartite classification scheme.[7] It can be conceptualized as the lack of a coherent 'organized' behavioral strategy for dealing with the stresses (i.e., the strange room, the stranger, and the comings and goings of the caregiver) of the Strange Situation Procedure. Evidence from Main et al. has suggested that children with disorganized attachment may experience their caregivers as either frightening or frightened. A frightened caregiver is alarming to the child, who uses social referencing techniques such as checking the adult's facial expression to ascertain whether a situation is safe. A frightening caregiver is usually so via aggressive behaviors towards the child (either mild or direct physical/sexual behaviors) and puts the child in a dilemma which Main and colleagues have called 'fear without solution.' In other words, the caregiver is both the source of the child's alarm as well as the child's haven of safety. Through parental behaviors that are frightening, the caregiver puts the child in an irresolvable paradox of approach-avoidance. This paradox, in fact, may be one explanation for some of the 'stilling' and 'freezing' behaviors observed in children judged to be disorganized. Human interactions are experienced as erratic, thus children cannot form a coherent, organized interactive template. If the child uses the caregiver as a mirror to understand the self, the disorganized child is looking into a mirror broken into a thousand pieces. It is more severe than learned helplessness as it is the model of the self rather than of a situation. It is important to note that when a child is judged disorganized, he or she is given a secondary best-fitting 'organized' (i.e., secure, ambivalent, avoidant) classification as well. This reflects the fact that attachment disorganization is thought to be a breakdown of an inchoate organized attachment strategy. The degree to which the organized strategy is fragmented however is often different in degree across infants judged to receive a primary 'disorganized' classification. There is a growing body of research on the links between abnormal parenting, disorganized attachment and risks for later psychopathologies.[8] Abuse is associated with disorganized attachment.[9][10] The disorganized style is a risk factor for a range of psychological disorders although it is not in itself considered an attachment disorder under the current classification.
The four types of attachment behavior are secure, insecure-avoidant, insecure-ambivalent, and disorganized. Secure attachment fosters healthy emotional and social development by providing a secure base for exploration. Insecure-avoidant attachment may lead to difficulties in forming close relationships, while insecure-ambivalent attachment can result in clingy and dependent behavior. Disorganized attachment may lead to emotional instability and difficulties in regulating emotions.
Disorganized personality refers to a pattern of behavior characterized by chaos, lack of organization, and difficulty in planning and carrying out tasks. Individuals with disorganized personality traits may struggle with maintaining order in various aspects of their life, leading to issues in relationships, work, and daily functioning. Therapy and support can help individuals with disorganized personality traits develop coping skills and strategies to improve their ability to manage responsibilities and tasks.
Dirty, Unclean, and Unkempt.
Having an over attachment to respected authority figures can indicate a dependency on their approval and validation for self-worth. It may lead to difficulties in asserting independence and making decisions on your own. Therapy can help explore underlying issues and develop healthier boundaries.
Attachment motivation refers to the biological and psychological drive to seek and maintain close relationships with others. It involves seeking security, comfort, and support from attachment figures such as parents or romantic partners. Attachment theory suggests that the quality of early attachments influences later social and emotional functioning.
Disorganized attachment is a type of insecure attachment characterized by a lack of a coherent strategy in dealing with stress or fear in relationships, particularly between a child and caregiver. Children with disorganized attachment may display contradictory behaviors, such as approaching a caregiver for comfort but then freezing or withdrawing. This attachment style often results from inconsistent or frightening caregiving, leading to confusion and anxiety in the child. It can impact emotional regulation and relationships later in life.

In "Someone to Watch Over You," Lyo classifies infant attachment into four main types based on the work of Bowlby and Ainsworth: secure, avoidant, resistant, and disorganized. Secure attachment is characterized by a strong bond and comfort with exploration, while avoidant attachment indicates emotional distance. Resistant attachment reflects anxiety and clinginess, and disorganized attachment shows a lack of clear attachment behavior. These classifications help in understanding the impact of early relationships on later emotional and social development.

An attachment can be two things. One kind of attachment is something that can be added to a device, for instance a vacuum attachment tube. Attachment can also mean a special connection, as in "He had an attachment to his favorite horse".
Generally, attachment usually refers to a relationship with one care-giver to one child. A child, or adult for that matter, can however, have many attachments. Attachment between a parent and child, in psychology, is usually referred to as being secure, or insecure. Insecure attachments are also broken down into 3 more categories: avoidant, ambivalent, and disorganized. If you are referring to the overall attachment patterns between members of a family, secure attachment patterns are the best type to have.
