Abstract
This qualitative investigation explored the attachment relationships of African adolescent refugees living in the United States. The study reviewed attachment behaviors in African cultures and examined how adolescent refugees experienced their attachment relationships. Narrative data gathered from Adult Attachment Interviews with 23 African adolescent refugees in the United States were analyzed. Results highlighted the importance of the extended family and showed improved parental relationships following migration. The results carry implications for understanding crosscultural attachment issues, suggestions for clinical work with refugee populations, and policy ramifications.
