Grief Resources Attachment Issues Young children are faced with a multitude of developmental changes that lead the child into an ever growing social and emotional world. These changes are often referred to as the tasks of childhood. One of the tasks of early childhood is the development of a sense of security and safety. This secure base is a result of the close and protective interactions between child and parents. This process of connecting is referred to as "attachment". It is a crucial aspect of development that forms the basis of ALL relationships. Attachment and its flip side, the failure to attach, have been prominent in the news in recent years. Children who were orphaned during wars and civil unrest and cared for in large institutions were among the first to display a consistent pattern of behavior, emotional and social problems associated with interrupted or failed parent-child bonding. Full scale attachment disorders are generally seen only in severe instances of traumatic childhood losses. However, young children who have experienced milder interruptions of parental security often exhibit some of the symptoms of attachment problems. These symptoms continue into adulthood evolving as the child matures. Attachment disorders often cause significant problems later on. Families with young children that have experienced the loss or absence of one parent experience such interruptions to some degree. Whether the parental absence is due to the death of a parent, a short or extended illness, or an extended absence as is the case in military deployment, the remaining caregivers must insure that the child continues to experience safe and warm emotional bonds. An ill or grieving mother or father may be emotionally unavailable to their children for an extended period. It is vital, then, that family members assist in the care of children in homes where parental loss is experienced.

Preparing Families for Adoption of Instiutionalized Children with Special Needs and/or Children At Risk for Special Needs By Dr. Victor Groza and Daniela F. Ileana International adoptions have increased since the end of World War II and currently represent about 10% of all adoptions in the United States . While children are adopted from every continent, different countries have been primary sources for international adoption. Although 6,500 children were adopted from Germany by American families during the years 1963 to 1981 , before 1990 most international adoptees came from Asia or South America. Beginning in 1990, international adoptions increased from Eastern and Central Europe. European adoptions, particularly in 1990 and 1991, were predominantly from Romania. By 1992, more children were adopted from the republics of the former Soviet Union rather than Eastern Europe. In 1995, there was an increase in children arriving from China. While the history and culture of each of these countries are different, there are many similarities in their child welfare systems that affect the issues faced by families who adopt internationally. Child welfare systems, in most emerging countries, are institutional or group-care-based systems, unlike the United States, which is a foster-family-based system. Thus, the overwhelming majority of children adopted internationally have spent time in institutional settings. Many of these children are placed at infancy or shortly thereafter. Most of these children are not orphaned in the traditional sense, in that they still have birth parents who are alive but are unable or unwilling to care for them. Often, these children become part of the child welfare system due to family poverty. There are many similarities in the structure of the institutional systems, even though they are located in different countries. For example, the structure of the system in Romania, as described by

Welcome Meet Executive Director Lynn Wetterberg Sadly, many childre n throughout the world do not benefit from adequate parenting during their early years. Their foundation for healthy development is damaged so they have difficulty in forming loving, lasting, intimate relationships. This condition, known as attachment disorder, can be triggered by abuse, neglect, abandonment, separation from birth parents, birth trauma, maternal depression, chronic illness, frequent moves and placements, and even divorce. Parents find that children with this condition are less responsive to direction, less eager to please and more aggressive. These children are at increased risk for serious psychological problems in adolescence and adulthood. Proper diagnosis and treatment will help change the future for these children - and for our society.

SUMMARY OF THE PRACTICE PARAMETERS FOR CHILD CUSTODY EVALUATION Principal Authors: Stephen P. Herman, M.D. and William Bernet, M.D. This Summary was developed by the Work Group on Quality Issues: John E. Dunne, M.D., Chair; Valerie Arnold, M.D., R. Scott Benson, M.D., William Bernet, M.D., Oscar Bukstein, M.D., Joan Kinlan, M.D., and Jon McLellan, M.D. AACAP Staff: L. Elizabeth Sloan, L.P.C. The full text of the Practice Parameters for Child Custody Evaluation is available to Academy members on the World Wide Web (www.aacap.org) and appears in the October 1997 supplement to the JAACAP. The full text of these parameters was reviewed at the 1996 Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. Both the full text and this Summary were approved by AACAP Council on June 6, 1997. © 1997 by the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. ABSTRACT These parameters give the clinician direction in conducting custody evaluations. Recommendations are based on extensive review of the scientific literature and clinical consensus among experts in the subject. The literature review, including references, and the rationale for specific recommendations are contained in the complete document (American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, 1997). Clinicians frequently are asked to offer opinions regarding child custody and visitation issues. Their opinions often heavily influence the decisions of judges and mediators on the custody and visitation arrangements of parents and children.
