The clinical and empirical literature on attachment and parental style in incomplete families focuses on children whose parents work abroad, children whose parents divorced or children who lost a ...parent. Unfortunately, little research has been done on attachment and parental style in incomplete families (parental migration, divorce and parental death). This article seeks to review previous studies and develop a general model of separation between children from incomplete families. Four major topics are reviewed to develop an understanding of attachment and parental style in incomplete families: (1) psychological and economic consequences of parental migration; (2) divorce and its links to attachment style, well-being and socioeconomic status (SES); (3) psychological and economic consequences of parental death; and (4) the comparison between parental death and divorce concerning children's well-being. The purpose of the article is to develop a general model of parental separation regarding attachment and parental style.
