Document Summary
People who are violent have dealt with lots of violence and bad childhoods. Most violent were victims of attempted murders, family violence, seen family killed or family tried to kill them. Experiences in infancy and earlychildhood which hinders kids ability to regulare their emptions can cause violence. Early enviornments were enough to overderermine the behaviour the amount of abuse and violence and abandonment was horrendous, lack of secure attachments. Insecure attachment leads to problems regulating their emotions. Disorganized attachment is when caregiver provides terrifying actions or behaviours to kids and this is related to violence. Kids with this attachment cannot read intentions and therefore easier to misinterpret, etc. Voice attacks distort perception of current situations. Paranoid/suspicious what other people are doing to you and how you defend yoursef. Self deprecate/pseudo independent feelings of inferiority and worthlessness. These feelings will lead to violence indirectly because you need to prove your worth something. Overtly aggressive thoughts but will result in violence.
