Abstract

Intended for therapists, parents, social workers, DCS workers, foster parents, educators, and child-care providers, this manual addresses how children with reactive attachment disorder (RAD) can be treated. Cain begins with a definition of attachment, and then presents various theories on the topic. She goes on to reveal, from a brain-based perspective, how early experiences are recorded, how these early experiences affect the rest of one’s life, and the variables that influence the experiences. The manual then outlines the spectrum of attachment styles and RAD behaviors, and provides lucidly defined assessment strategies for identifying RAD. Finally, the text gives an overview of the ways to correct behavioral problems, including techniques that are specific to children who suffer from of RAD. This accessible volume is punctuated by illustrative case studies and includes a useful glossary. (Alexa Hubbard)
