Abstract

The paper discusses the different perspectives and needs of research and practice. The exchange between the two systems is made even more difficult due to various barriers. The consequences of this bad fit are a delayed and frequently incoherent reception of the research results by the practical field. On the other hand, due to its top-down approach, research misses opportunities to integrate practical knowledge in circular processes that could lead to practice-relevant and innovative results. Individual problems are illustrated based on the results on disorganized attachment research and on environmental factors in post-traumatic stress disorders.
