Journal ArticleDOI

Attachment relationships among children with aggressive behavior problems: the role of disorganized early attachment patterns.

TL;DR: This article reviews recent attachment-related studies of early aggression and indicates that aggressive behavior toward peers is related to disorganized or controlling patterns of attachment behavior toward parents but not to avoidant or ambivalent patterns.
Journal ArticleDOI

Journal ArticleDOI
