How the Lack of Secure Attachments Cultivates Psychopathic Traits

Abstract

Rick Stalnaker*

The construction of a psychopath could be influenced by the underpinning of the lack of secure attachment with caregivers. The formation of secure attachment seems to be essential for pro-social interactions. Insufficient secure attachment foundation and certain neurological predispositions appear to be the factors of psychopathic personality disorder. The formation of secure attachment is biologically grounded, behavioral distinct mechanism that serves the viability of the child by sustaining the immediacy of the caregiver (we seem to be hard wired for this). The concept of attachment is often described as a formidable emotional bond between the child and adult.
