Social attachment theory can be of value in examining the wide variety of abuse and neglect situations that come to the attention of authorities. We consider evaluation of the parent-child relationship as a crucial part of the judicial process. We have suggested parameters that can be used to evaluate the relationship. We have outlined some of the more common distortions in this relationship that have, in our experience, been associated with the mistreatment of children. The use of social attachment theory has been of great help in understanding the emotional reactions of the many children we have seen for evaluation and treatment. The theory also serves as a potential guide for improvements in social policy. If we are more sensitive to the psychological world of these children, we will be better able to truly protect them.
社会依恋理论在审视引起当局关注的各种虐待和忽视情况时可能具有价值。我们认为对亲子关系的评估是司法程序的关键部分。我们提出了可用于评估这种关系的参数。我们概述了这种关系中一些较常见的扭曲情况，根据我们的经验，这些情况与虐待儿童有关。社会依恋理论的运用在理解我们为评估和治疗而见过的众多儿童的情绪反应方面有很大帮助。该理论还可作为社会政策改进的潜在指南。如果我们对这些儿童的心理世界更加敏感，我们将能更好地真正保护他们。
