Preferred term

attachment deficiency and violence  

Definition

  • Over the past 50 years, the contemplation of a link between attachment deficit and the genesis of psychopathological patterns of behavior, such as repetitive violent acts, appears to be increasing in importance. Children who are victims of violence—due to dysfunctional interactions with parents, siblings, or peers or being forced to rely on unstable family structures with inadequate role models—suffer from various frustrations and often become violent offenders later in life.
