Abstract
Research evidence indicates that witnessing parental violence has serious negative effects on children and may predispose male children, in particular, to become violent in future relationships. This study utilizes attach' ment theory as a framework for understanding and intervening with male toddlers and their mothers in the aftermath of domestic violence. A detailed case study is used to illustrate this intervention approach.This publication has 16 references indexed in Scilit:
