Inducing traumatic attachment in adults with a history of child abuse: forensic applications

Introduction

Childhood trauma is very likely to produce ill-health and psychiatric disorder in adulthood. The paper discusses attachment theory and various forms of insecure attachment to the parent/caregiver, particularly disorganised attachment behaviour and the traumatic attachment response.

The paper describes and illustrates the use of the TAIT technique for eliciting such models.
