Understanding how children's minds form in the context of early caregiving relationships is critical to understanding child maltreatment and its consequences for longer term care. The author takes the most pressing problems facing child welfare practitioners today and uses modern attachment theory to describe and explain the psychosocial dynamics involved. With deepened understanding of how hostile or helpless parenting affects children's behavior and mental health, professionals are better equipped to make sound assessments and to tailor interventions more closely to the needs of both children and their carers.
