Are there different types of attachment disorders?
Aggressive Attachment Disorder
One of the confusing aspects of attachment disorders, is that behavior may vary from child to child. For example, a child with an aggressive style may show clear preference for an attachment figure, but the child's aggressive and angry outbursts prevent bonding to occur. The child's aggression and anger may be directed inward, at the self, or outward, at the child's caregiver or someone else. Sometimes, anger is directed outward toward someone who did not cause the anger, adding to the confusion and obstruction of building a relationship. I highly recommend High Risk if you have not read this book, as a starting place for understanding attachment disorders. |
