Their is considerable clinical research in this regard. One of my favorites is The Developing Mind by Daniel J Siegel. I will also briefly outline attachment based on my clinical experience.
Attachment from parents to child start in utero and becomes more significant when the child achieves object constancy. I ID 6 attachment subtypes connected to what i refer to as psychosocial environments:
An enriched PSE creates a very secure attachment; a functional PSE confers a secure one; sterile one confers insecure-ambivalent subtype; a dysfunctional
PSE creates a insecure avoidance or disorganized subtype; and a toxic PSE, a rage-aggressive subtype.
Best wishes on your research. I strongly support it, will recommend and follow.

Dear Maryam,
I would urge you to become acquainted with Mary Main's work on attachment. She is an American psychologist famous for her work in the field of attachment. A Professor at the University of California is particularly known for her introduction of the 'disorganized' infant attachment classification and for development of the Adult Attachment Interview and coding system for assessing states of mind regarding attachment. This work has been described as 'revolutionary' and Main has been described as having 'unprecedented resonance and influence' in the field of psychology.
I assume that you are already acquainted with the seminal work by J. Bowlby's and M. Ainsworth's work on attachement and styles of attachment.
kind regards,
Orlando

Bowlby & Ainsworth theory focus infancy not Adolescence Moustafa Baali
There are longitudinal studies suggesting that early sub-attachments endure over time based on the early psychosocial environment (PSE). Indeed parents will need to adept to the intriguing challenges presented by adolescents.

Here is my broad analysis to life stages: differentiation of cells, differentiation of selves, individuation, separateness, leaving home, and replacing F-O-O w/ family F-O-C (choice).
I also kind Erik Erikson's work to be illuminating re: psychosocial development.

Have a look at Patricia Crittenden (2015), her Dynamic Maturational Model of Attachment, shows how considering attachment strategies rather than styles is more helpful and practical as the adult knows that change is possible and can see the child’s behaviour as adaptive, in the context of their abusive background.
