Abstract

The study of resilience has as a fundamental purpose to know the factors and processes that allow people to evaluate and adapt to different forms of adversity. For its part, attachment theory allows us to understand the different ways in which people cope with conflicts and difficulties. Research on the relationship between attachment and resilience has served to confirm the role of secure attachment as a source of resources and support Karreman, Vingerhoets, Shibue, & Kasai, (2014). However, we have not found research linking secure attachment styles with figures that exercise a resilience tutor function, knowing that they represent a fundamental support in the process of overcoming and adapting to difficult situations of the other individual. Currently, it is a topic that has awakened special interest among people who in one way or another are immersed in the work of dissemination, orientation and training of helping professionals, which is an important bias. In this sense, with this work, a literature review was conducted that allowed establishing the relationship between secure attachment and resilience tutors based on the findings of other authors, such as Rubio and Puig (2015), Cyrulnik (2015), and Perez (2019), by means of an exhaustive documentary research where arguments and an analysis of the different positions regarding the topic of interest were established. As final considerations, it became evident that the more resilient tutors can self-evaluate themselves, considering a secure attachment style as the most suitable, the more likely they will be able to help that person to overcome and emerge stronger by managing tools that help him/her to adapt to adversity
