    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 child welfare.
    • Social attachment theory provides a framework for analyzing these dynamics.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To explore the utility of social attachment theory in examining child abuse and neglect.
    • To propose parameters for evaluating parent-child relationships in legal contexts.
    • To identify common relationship distortions associated with child mistreatment.

    Main Methods:

    • Application of social attachment theory to analyze cases of child abuse and neglect.
    • Development of specific parameters for assessing parent-child relationship quality.
    • Qualitative review of case experiences to identify patterns of relational distortion.

    Main Results:

    • Social attachment theory effectively explains the emotional responses of children in evaluated cases.
    • Identified specific relational distortions frequently observed in mistreated children.
    • Parent-child relationship evaluation emerged as a crucial component of the judicial process.

    Conclusions:

    • Social attachment theory is a valuable tool for understanding and addressing child abuse and neglect.
    • Proposed evaluation parameters can aid judicial processes and inform social policy.
    • Increased sensitivity to children's psychological experiences is vital for effective protection.
