Examines attachment theory as it relates to adopted children with special needs, from two different theoretical perspectives: the social control perspective and the ethological perspective. Mistreatment history affects attachment from both perspectives. Physical or sexual abuse before adoptive placement is negatively associated with attachment as viewed from both perspectives. The strengths of associations of many preplacement variables to level of attachment are generally quite modest. Implications of findings for practice and research are discussed.

A lack of funding to meet the requirements of the Children Act is cited as a major reason for these difficulties.
