Keeping in mind that there is attraction that is sexual in nature, that it is an arousal based on knowledge of the physical features of another person and the instigation of the biological imperative to mate. But what about other features of attraction, particularly the psychological aspect as it relates to the concept of emotional connection? From research on the science of attraction, for instance, we tend to be attracted to those who most closely remind us of our childhood image and experience of our mother or father. If a girl experienced emotional abandonment from her father, she interprets and understands that as the form of love. The emotion of anxiety that is the physiological manifestation of a fear of abandonment, later on in life, becomes understood as attraction and love. So this woman then would find attractive the subconscious patterns of abandonment in a male partner because it models her childhood experience of love from her father. But that childhood experience was governed by a desperate need for validation, and so as an adult, her attractions to men are based on validation seeking tendencies, where emotional hunger is confused as love. Kernberg argued that our ability to engage in constructive and positive relationships as adults is highly influenced by the stage at which a developmental failure had occurred preventing full psychological birth. So in regards to pedophiles, is there a view that argues that their attraction to children is based on emotional validation and psychological healing, where there is that anxious neurotic drive to seek after it, as opposed to it being purely sexual?
