Children's strategies for coping with adverse home environments: an interpretation using attachment theory

Article Abstract:

Children cope with maltreatment in a variety of ways. The age of the child and the type of maltreatment, whether abused, neglected, marginally maltreated or both abused and neglected, are factors that affect their coping strategies in adverse home environments. Children's coping strategies are also coherent, though not necessarily the same, across situations and relationships. These can range from cooperation, compulsive compliance, difficultness and passivity.

Powerful social forces are needed to counteract the problem since child maltreatment is a social and psychological indicator of community trouble. Public and all-out support is needed for evaluative reseach that would pinpoint elements of community development essential for the eradication of child maltreatment.
