ATTACHMENT, TRAUMA AND HEALING
Understanding and Treating Attachment Disorder in Children and Families
by Terry M. Levy, Ph.D. and Michael Orlans, M.A.
Child Welfare League of America, 1998
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.
Contents:
- Historical perspective: Theory and Research
- Roots of attachment: biology, early development
- Personal and social competencies: the attachment foundation
- Disrupted attachment: Trauma and maltreatment
- Assessment: child and family
- Corrective Attachment Therapy: theory and practice

"A must read for parents, foster parents and professionals. Reactive Attachment Disorder, its causes, symptoms, diagnosis and treatment are explained clearly for both laymen and professionals. Adoptive parents, foster parents, and mental health professionals will all find this an essential resource for information if they have any contact at all with children suffering from RAD. PARENTS of kids with RAD - Buy this for your child's therapist and/or caseworker and it will help them understand you, your family and the problems you are facing much better! It could also save you thousands of dollars in therapy because you will stop working with people who think they understand but don't. It will help lead you to effective treatment. Lastly, if you are being charged falsely with abuse due to the actions of your child with RAD this will help you get the legal information you need to fight the charges."
