When early physical and emotional needs are met, a third of the time or more, that child feels safe, trusts others, develops a positive sense of self, experiences joy and learns to regulate his or her emotions. What is secure attachment? Each attachment occurs in a unique way. Infants vary in what it takes to calm and soothe them or what they find most pleasurable. Caretakers also have their own preferences, but the attuned caretaker will observe and follow the lead of the infant. Relationships characterized by secure attachment have the following attributes: The child cries; the adult feels concern and acts in ways that communicate this concern. Through this mutually attuned interaction, the infant learns to attain balance in his body, emotions, and states of mind. The comfort, pleasure, and mutuality of the attuned interaction creates a sense of safety within the infant and inspires interpersonal connection to others.

Our mission has always been to find adoptive homes and clinical resources for children with special needs. These children have a variety of emotional, educational, medical and, sometimes, physical disorders. Twenty-five years later, our mission has expanded to include assisting all families, birth and adoptive, to find permanence and stability. In May of 1998 the Attachment Center of South Carolina (ACSC) officially opened. This was a long time dream for the agency since we have been serving clients and training therapists since 1989. We provide treatment for children with attachment problems/disorders, including Reactive Attachment Disorder, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, and other related disorders. We treat many children who, along with their attachment problems, have co-morbid conditions such as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Anxiety Disorders, ADHD and other conditions. Target Population We will consider working with any child from birth to twenty-one years of age. The majority of the ACSC’s clients are children ages four to sixteen who have been adopted or who are in the foster care system. We treat children with histories of abuse and neglect, multiple placements, histories of institutional care, and internationally adopted children. We have also treated children who live with their birth families. All services are on an outpatient basis.

Pag e Attachment Reactive Attachment Disorder: A Journey of Hope by Nancy Geoghegan Our story begins on April 3, 1996, the day we brought our then 4- year- old son home from a Romanian orphanage. From the moment he came home, he was a whirlwind of hyperactivity - touching everything, defiant, destructive, loud, violent and rageful. I noticed some other strange behaviors right away. Rocking back and forth and from side to side, refusing to eat, lack of eye contact, an apparent need to be in control of everyone and every situation, and a propensity to illicit angry responses from both myself and my husband - what we called "pushing our buttons". He had no fear of strangers often just walking up to a stranger and touching them and talking to them. He would hug me with his back when I would go for a hug and he flinched when I touched him yet he would be happy to give hugs to anyone not in his immediate family.

Click for more information on the Treatment Weekend Patient Privacy Practices New and improved Welch Method CD-ROM Holding Time by Martha G. Welch, MD The Martha Welch Center provides highly specialized complex, comprehensive and Intensive Family Treatment therapy and training for families with children suffering from developmental, behavioral, and affective disorders including Reactive Attachment Disorder and many other associated disorders. We believe there is no such thing as a child too old, or too young, or too damaged to benefit from our program. Several factors, however, are essential for admission to a treatment program. First, there must be a committed and dedicated mother willing to put in the time and energy at home to follow through with the regulatory bonding process. Second, the family must be willing to explore the complex nature of its regulatory bond system. Third, there must be a family support network at home, be it husband, children, grandparents or close relatives who are willing to enter into the treatment program with the mother and child. (In the absence of such, a qualified professional could be used).

47. Reactive Attachment Disorder - AACAP Facts For Families #85 Discusses how to recognize Reactive attachment disorder and what you should do. http://www.aacap.org/publications/factsfam/85.htm

R EACTIVE A TTACHMENT D ISORDER Reactive Attachment Disorder is a complex psychiatric illness that can affect young children. It is characterized by serious problems in emotional attachments to others and usually presents by age 5. A parent, daycare provider or physician may notice that a child has problems with emotional attachment by their first birthday. Often, a parent brings an infant or very young child to the doctor with one or more of the following concerns: severe colic and/or feeding difficulties failure to gain weight detached and unresponsive behavior difficulty being comforted preoccupied and/or defiant behavior inhibition or hesitancy in social interactions Some children with Reactive Attachment Disorder may also be overly or inappropriately social or familiar with strangers. The physical, emotional and social problems associated with Reactive Attachment Disorder may persist as the child grows older. The cause of Reactive Attachment Disorder is not known. Most children with this disorder have had severe problems or disruptions in their early relationships. Many have been physically or emotionally abused or neglected. Some have experienced inadequate care in an institutional setting or other out-of-home placement (for example a hospital, residential program, foster care or orphanage). Others have had multiple or traumatic losses or changes in their primary caregiver. Children who exhibit signs of Reactive Attachment Disorder need a comprehensive psychiatric assessment and individualized treatment plan. These signs or symptoms may also be found in other psychiatric disorders. A child should never be given this label or diagnosis without a comprehensive evaluation. Treatment of this complex disorder involves both the child and the family. Without treatment, this condition can permanently effect a child's social and emotional development.

49. Policy Statement: Coercive Interventions For Reactive Attachment Disorder Reactive attachment disorder is a complex psychiatric illness that is characterizedby problems in forming and maintaining emotional attachments with others http://www.aacap.org/publications/policy/ps48.htm

P OLICY S TATEMENT C OERCIVE I NTERVENTIONS FOR R EACTIVE A TTACHMENT D ISORDER Approved by Council November, 2003 Developed by the Child Abuse and Neglect Committee Reactive Attachment Disorder is a complex psychiatric illness that is characterized by problems in forming and maintaining emotional attachments with others. These difficulties are usually present by 5 years of age, and may be detected during the first year of life. These children may appear detached, unresponsive, inhibited or reluctant to engage in age-appropriate social interactions. Alternatively, some children with Reactive Attachment Disorder may be overly and inappropriately social or familiar, even with strangers. Reactive Attachment Disorder can be difficult to diagnose. Most children with Reactive Attachment Disorder have had problems or severe disruptions in their early relationships. Many have been physically, sexually or emotionally abused or neglected. Others have had multiple traumatic losses or changes in their primary caretaker. Many severely traumatized children present with complex problems and symptoms, but only partially meet diagnostic criteria for Reactive Attachment Disorder. Reactive Attachment Disorder is sometimes confused with Pervasive Developmental Disorder or other neurological disorders including deafness, and genetic disorders that may mimic signs of Reactive Attachment Disorder. Because of these diagnostic difficulties, children who exhibit signs of Reactive Attachment Disorder require comprehensive psychiatric evaluation and individualized treatment plans by professionals who are expert in the differential diagnosis and treatment of these complex disorders. Treatment usually includes both individual and family interventions. In extreme cases of Reactive Attachment Disorder that are complicated by self-endangering behavior, placement in a safe, therapeutic setting may be necessary. Nevertheless, family settings that maximize opportunities for the child to develop selective attachments are usually most helpful.

Contact us: Monrovia, CA Terri@healtheheart.org Helping Families Heal Welcome to our website! Heal the Hearts was created to promote understanding and education of Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) , for parents and professionals dealing with children diagnosed with RAD. The exposure to stress with some children has been so significant that they stand outside of any category of severity. These children give trauma a new definition. Most children are or have been in foster care, have had repeated life or death experiences, have had several changes in caregivers, all have suffered from some form of emotional, sexual, or physical abuse, and generally they have never been successfully treated. The most popular term for these children is Attachment Disorder, however, most have received every diagnosis available for severe emotional and behavioral disturbances ranging from attention-deficit hyperactivity to bi-polar and depression. In addition, most have received various combinations of psychotropic medication. We are not just one part without the other, our mind, body, and soul are all connected. In healing our children and ourselves, we must treat all three parts. Traditional therapies tend to treat the mind only. Whereas, the work I do with you helps you connect all three parts, and create the balance necessary for harmonious daily living.
