In response to the societal premium placed on understanding the difficulties faced by children from high conflict homes, emotional security theory aims to understand precisely how and why interparental discord is associated with children’s psychological problems. One of its main premises is that interparental discord increases children’s vulnerability to mental illness by undermining their sense of safety or security in the context of the interparental relationship. In this article, we highlight the main assumptions of a new ethological formulation of emotional security theory and its predictions and findings regarding the organization, precursors, and consequences of individual differences in children’s emotional insecurity. We conclude with a synopsis of the value of the new formulation for future work.
