Penacoba C, et al. - The authors conducted this study to investigate the relationships between attachment styles and pain intensity and certain emotional variables (anxiety, depression, and alexithymia) in a sample of fibromyalgia patients, in comparison with healthy women. They found no relationship between attachment style and pain intensity. Avoidant attachment seemed to carry out a contradictory role and warranted further research. The outcomes obtained appeared to highlight the need for the Attachment–Diathesis Model of Chronic Pain to include attachment styles as a predictor of the emotional experience of pain in fibromyalgia patients.
