Attachment theory is based on studies of abused and neglected children - or the children of abused and neglected children. Almost any CSA trauma work will site the studies. If you want, look up the work of Bruce Perry or Daniel Stern or Dan Siegel. All brain research/development stuff. Bruce Perry in particular does the trauma research. His most recent book is really, really good but a very hard read - lots of stories that trigger. "The Boy who was raised as a Dog." I like Karen's work too but it is a tiny bit dated - but the premise is there.
And when I talk about neglect, I'm talking about emotional neglect mostly. Children might grow up with "everything" and still be neglected. And sometimes parents just don't have the capacity so we can have compassion for them and understand it - like with depressed mothers - but we can't ignore the effects on the child.
