Aim: The purpose of this study is to assess past and present attachment relationships in outpatients affected by Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) as Ulcerative Colitis and Crohn’s Disease. Methods: 664 subjects were divided in a experimental sample of 314 IBD outpatients (157 males, age from 16 to 78, m: 43.14) and a control sample of 350 non-pathological subjects, similar for sex and age, without IBD-affected relatives. In all cases the following questionnaires were submitted: 1) Parental Bonding Instrument (PBI) by Parker, et al. (1979) for the study of parental relationships in the first 16 years; 2) Attachment Style Questionnaire (ASQ) by Feeney et al.(1994) to assess some dimensions of present attachment style.
