Attachment, Trauma, and Healing: Understanding and Treating Attachment Disorder in Children and Families
by Michael Orlans, M.A. and Terry M. Levy, Ph.D.

Quantity:     $38.00/each  
Attachment is the deep and enduring connection established between a child and caregiver in the first few years of life. It profoundly influences every component of the human condition: mind, body, emotions, relationships, and values. Children lacking secure attachments with caregivers often become angry, oppositional, antisocial, and may grow up to be parents who are incapable of establishing this crucial foundation with their own children.   BEST SELLER!

Attachment, Trauma and Healing examines the causes of attachment disorder and provides in-depth discussion of effective solutions including attachment-focused assessment and diagnosis, specialized training and education for caregivers, the innovative "in-arms" treatment for children and caregivers, and early intervention and prevention programs for high risk families. A valuable new resource for professionals.

Table of Contents:
  • Historical perspective: Theory and Research
  • Roots of attachment: biology, early development
  • Personal & social competencies: the attachment foundation
  • Disrupted attachment: Trauma and maltreatment
  • Assessment: child and family
  • Corrective Attachment Therapy: theory and practice
  • The family system: Dynamics and interventions
  • Structured treatment program: Case example
  • Corrective Attachment Parenting: Concepts and methods
  • Child welfare system: Foster care, adoption, daycare, early intervention, and prevention programs
  • **** (4 stars) Ideas presented used immediately.   With the information presented, I was able to immediately put into action some of the ideas.   And, they worked!   I feel more confident parenting and isn't that the goal of the book?
