Summary/Abstract: This study aims to highlight the most frequent factors that determine the educational interventions to exceed into disciplinary excesses. Explanatory models are presented including social factors, parental personality characteristics and child emotional factors. In the maltreatment etiological equation the parent or educator psychological personality represents a strong determinant. Attachment, defined as an emotional relationship between parent and child, has also profound influences in maltreatment phenomenon. The key factors involved in the development of attachment are considered to be mainly the responsibility of the adult to signals transmitted by the child (modulating arousal) and the various interactions initiated by the adult (stimulation). Child maltreatment involves risk factors correlated with attachment problems, but also with interference of ego organization and the poor integration of cognitive, social, emotional and motivational dimensions of behaviour.
