Subjects: Attachment disorder in children.
Description: "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 may grow up to be parents who are incapable of establishing this crucial foundation with their own children." "Attachment, Trauma, and Healing examines the causes of attachment disorder, and provides indepth discussion on effective solutions--including attachment-focused assessment and diagnosis, specialized training and education for caregivers, the controversial "in-arms" treatment for children and caregivers, and early intervention and prevention programs for high-risk families.
