Résumé
Cette étude vise à décrire le fonctionnement psychologique de trois enfants portant le diagnostic de trouble réactionnel de l’attachement et tenter un rapprochement entre ce diagnostic, leur fonctionnement et les atteintes neurocognitives pouvant être liées. Les difficultés émotionnelles et comportementales, les représentations d’attachement et les données des dossiers pédopsychiatriques seront examinées, puis des facteurs communs mis en évidence. Une intégration des difficultés de ces enfants, de leurs atteintes neurobiologiques, et des connaissances issues des neurosciences concernant les troubles d’attachement est amorcée. Enfin, les limites de cette étude de cas sont discutées afin de mettre en perspective de futures avenues de recherche.

Abstract
This case analysis aims to describe the clinical manifestations of three children with a diagnosis of Reactive Attachment Disorder and interpret them in the light of possible neurocognitive impairments. The emotional and behavioral difficulties, the attachment representations, and the clinical history of the children are first presented. Some common factors are then highlighted. An integration of their difficulties, their neurobiological disorders, and knowledge from the neurosciences concerning attachment disorders is elaborated. Finally, the limits of this case study are discussed and some ideas for future research are exposed.
