The cognitive nature of the attachment theory has favored the integration of its evolutionary principles with those of cognitive psychotherapy in Italy. This integration has profoundly influenced the general theory and treatment methods as well as determining the development of a specific orientation labeled cognitive-evolutionary psychotherapy. Cognitive-evolutionary psychotherapy, like other psychotherapeutic approaches of relational paradigm, is centered on the relational nature of the mind and its development, on the importance of interpersonal attachment dynamics for the understanding of psychopathology and the superordinate role of the therapeutic relationship in the treatment of emotional disorders.
Keywords: Cognitive Psychotherapy; Attachment Theory; Internal Operative Models; Therapeutic Alliance; Intersubjectivity; Evolutionism.
