Next Slide 2 of 23 Presentation Notes: As a relatively new diagnosis to the DSM-IV manual, Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD), also known as Attachment Disorder (AD). It is often misunderstood, and relatively unknown. Expertise is even less available, and normal behavior treatments can very easily add to the symptoms if treated by instinctive patterns. Experts in RAD estimate that this disorder has been misdiagnosed as Bi-Polar Disorder or Attention Deficit Disorder in 40 to 70 percent of the cases. All to often these individuals grow up untreated and become sociopaths without conscience and without concern for anyone but themselves. This condition was made popular by the recent academy award winning movie "Good Will Hunting." But unlike the movie, the hero, or heroine rarely drives off into the sunset to have a happy ever after life. More realistically, parental dreams are lost, and they grow up uncaring and without social conscience.

Reactive Attachment Disorder ... I had heard of the terms before, but until I agreed to take my 12-year-old nephew in, “reactive attachment disorder”, sometimes known as “detachment disorder”, or simply “attachment disorder”, held no personal significance to me. My wife and I took our nephew in to live with us in January of 2002. While we knew, and anticipated that there would be significant problems, we had no idea as to the extent of his disability. Our nephew was diagnosed with Reactive Attachment Disorder, or RAD, shortly after coming to live with us and, despite the fact that this is a disorder that was barely on my screen of consciousness prior to that time, my wife and I have both come to understand it quite well. Making it go away was another matter entirely. As a paramedic for more than twenty years, I had come to appreciate signs and symptoms pointing to specific diagnoses, yet I was astounded to see how closely and how clearly our nephew fit the pattern for reactive attachment disorder. I only wish that treating the problem were as easy as diagnosing it appeared to be Through books, tapes, classes, and conferences, my wife and I have devoured all of the useful information we can find on attachment disorders and, as we have learned more, we’ve added to this site. If you’ve just begun your own search for ways in which you can help your child, we understand what you are looking for, and believe that this will be a good place to start. We have included links to books that may be helpful and to other useful sites we’ve found on the Internet.

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.

This site provides information and support on attachment and bonding situations ranging from securely attached to sever attachment disorder, and many levels of attachment issues in between. Attachment Spotlight It's a RAD RAD World - Nancy Ashe Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) is the result of developmental interruptions (often related to abuse and neglect) that generally occur within the first three years of a child's life. The child's ability to bond and trust (attach) to other people is damaged, and attaching to primary caregivers and others is non-existent, inappropriate, or negative, often involving violence. In their book "Adopting the Hurt Child" [p.31], therapists Gregory Keck and Regina Kupecky, of the Attachment & Bonding Center of Ohio, caution against over-diagnosing, but note they have found that children with untreated RAD will develop other problems, and that they do not "grow out of it." One of the most difficult situations for parents to deal with is the disbelief of others outside the family who are exposed only to the child's endearing behaviors which seem to belie the challenges exhibited in the home. However, treatment programs, parenting techniques, and community are available.

Indiscriminately affectionate? Unable to give/receive affection? Manipulative? Does your child.... Steal? Lie? Rage? Set fires? Injure animals? We can help, with skilled diagnosis and caring therapy. Traditional therapies (play, talk, expressive) do not work with children who have attachment and bonding problems, because they rely on the ability to form a trusting reciprocal relationship with the therapist - something a child with attachment issues cannot do! We rely on a myriad of treatment techniques designed to reach the unreachable child. These techniques and interventions are tailored to meet the individual needs of the child and family in treatment, and may include cognitive restructuring, psychodrama, holding, somato-emotional release, reparenting, behavioral management, narrative therapy, EMDR and Theraplay. We also utilize family and couples therapy to help parents and siblings heal from the emotional wounds that result from living with a rage-filled child.

The Attachment and Bonding Center of PA IS THERE HOPE FOR HEALING? Welcome At ABC of PA, we believe in hope for healing. The Attachment and Bonding Center of PA specializes in the treatment of children and adolescents with attachment difficulties - children who are suffering from a seeming inability to form an attachment or bond with those who love them most. It is the nature of humans to want love, safety and closeness with others. In our first 3 years of life, a foundation is laid. We each must learn "is the world safe? caring? predictable?" In a loving and consistent relationship with a primary caregiver, we develop a sense of well-being, and a trust in others. But for children who have suffered early experiences of neglect, abuse, hospitalizations, institutionalization, painful illness, or separations from a primary caregiver, relationships are frightening and unpredictable. These children become reluctant to trust or love others. And they become driven - driven to control every aspect of life in an effort to control their pain. They grow up believing they are unlovable and that others must not be trusted. Life is empty and survival is the only goal.
