There is no such thing as a clinical diagnosis of adult attachment disorder, to clarify. It's rather strange, but that's the DSM for you! People who grew up with attachment difficulties as a child, for whatever reason, tend to end up with symptoms associated with the personality disorders [commonly Borderline] as an adult. All of the pds express difficulty with relationship in one way or another, that being relationship with self and others.
