When he was 12 months old his mother left him in an institutional nursery for 13 days. In this nursery, staff had little time to respond to his emotional needs. When she returned to collect him, he avoided her and often displayed outbursts of anger. He was subsequently taken away from his alcoholic parents when he was 2 years old and permanently placed in institutional care. He was adopted when he was 7 years old, but had a problematic relationship with his adoptive parents. He was violent towards his younger brothers and was often in trouble at school.
