Märksõnad:
Dresvina applies attachment theory to examples of self-narratives-letters and proto-autobiographies-from medieval England written in broad religious contexts. She investigates whether God could appear as adequate attachment figure in times of high mortality and often inadequate childrearing practices, and whether the emphasis on God's proximity benefited psychological reorganization. Her main method of inquiry is discourse analysis based on the Adult Attachment Interview coding. Among the writers she examines are Gerald of Wales, Margery Kempe, Anselm, and Julian of Norwich.

This study applies attachment theory to religious self-narratives from medieval England. It examines whether God could appear as an adequate attachment figure in times of high mortality and inadequate childrearing practices, and whether emphasis on God’s proximity benefits psychological reorganisation.
