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.

However, because the duration of the current maternal depressive episode at baseline was correlated with the number of children's
internalizing and externalizing
symptoms at baseline (Cynthia Ewell - Foster, PhD, et al, unpublished data, December 2005), and the extent of children's improvement following maternal remission depended on the magnitude of improvement
in their mothers, reverse causation is not likely to fully account for the association between maternal remission and child improvement.
There is also inconsistency regarding studying anxiety and depressive
symptoms as a single «
internalizing domain» or as two clinically - distinct presentations.6, 7 Similar issues with how to classify

in the lack of consensus as to whether emotional problems should be conceptualized and studied
in a categorical versus dimensional fashion.8 Diagnostic criteria (DSM - IV - TR) 9 are often inappropriate for young children and do not capture developmentally - salient types of impairment (e.g., disruption
in family routine), which make it difficult to apply psychiatric research methods.

in social skills (e.g., social participation, leadership) and peer victimization predict depressive
symptoms in childhood.13, 14 There is also substantial longitudinal evidence linking social withdrawal
in childhood with the later development of more significant
internalizing problems.15, 16,17 For example, Katz and colleagues18 followed over 700 children from early childhood to young adulthood and described a pathway linking social withdrawal at age 5 years — to social difficulties with peers at age 15 years — to diagnoses of depression at age 20 years.
