    Area of Science:

    • Psychology
    • Social Policy
    • Child Welfare

    Background:

    • Child abuse and neglect cases present complex challenges for authorities.
    • Understanding the parent-child relationship is critical in judicial proceedings involving mistreatment.
    • Social attachment theory offers a framework for analyzing these complex dynamics.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To explore the utility of social attachment theory in cases of child abuse and neglect.
    • To propose parameters for evaluating parent-child relationships within the judicial system.
    • To identify common relational distortions associated with child mistreatment.

    Main Methods:

    • Application of social attachment theory to analyze parent-child relationships in evaluated cases.
    • Development and suggestion of specific parameters for relationship assessment.
    • Qualitative review of common distortions observed in mistreated children's relationships.

    Main Results:

    • Social attachment theory effectively explains the emotional responses of children undergoing evaluation.
    • Identified specific relational distortions frequently linked to child mistreatment.
    • The evaluation of the parent-child relationship is a crucial component of the judicial process.

    Conclusions:

    • Social attachment theory provides valuable insights into child abuse and neglect.
    • The proposed parameters can aid in judicial evaluations of parent-child relationships.
    • Enhanced sensitivity to children's psychological experiences can improve social policy and protection efforts.
