Children who have disorganized attachment with their primary attachment figure have been shown to be vulnerable to stress, have problems with regulation and control of negative emotions, and display oppositional, hostile - aggressive
behaviours, and coercive styles of interaction.2, 3 They may exhibit low self - esteem, internalizing and
externalizing problems in the early school years, poor peer interactions, unusual or bizarre
behaviour in the classroom, high teacher ratings of dissociative
behaviour and internalizing symptoms in middle childhood, high levels of teacher - rated social and behavioural
difficulties in class, low mathematics attainment, and impaired formal operational skills.3 They may show high levels of overall psychopathology at 17 years.3 Disorganized attachment with a primary attachment figure is over-represented in groups of children with clinical problems and those who are victims of maltreatment.1, 2,3 A majority of children with early disorganized attachment with their primary attachment figure during infancy go on to develop significant social and emotional maladjustment and psychopathology.3, 4 Thus, an attachment - based intervention should focus on preventing and / or reducing disorganized attachment.
