This study aims to identify the aggressive behavior and its relation with the type of maternal attachment in the deaf child. The study group consisted of 4 deaf children aged 8 to 12 years. They were selected after applying the BUSS Aggressive Behavior Scale and two instruments were used to measure maternal attachment (The Family Drawing Test and a semi-directive interview with the mother). Three out of four children had a type of non-secure attachment, as a sign of the relationship between aggressive behavior and the type of non-secure attachment in the deaf child. (Published Abstract)
