Attachment Disorders Part 3 Dear Mom by Linda Ann Smith I'm only a baby, and to become emotionally well-adjusted later I need your help! Do you think it will hurt Dad's feelings that I asked you first? I hope not. His love and care are very important to me too! Mom, I already have a special relationship with you. Before I was born, I knew the warmth of your body, the rhythm of your heartbeat and the sound of your voice. Now a stronger bond with you will help me learn to trust others for physical and emotional comfort. When you see my sweet little face, can you imagine that later I could develop severe behavior problems or even commit serious crimes? Probably not! But if I fail to bond now I could develop an attachment disorder and have difficulty with human relationships when I become and adult. Failure to bond with my parent(s) places me at high risk for growing into a manipulative, controlling, "unattached child" without a conscience and with extreme self-control problems. We don't have any time to waste! It's important that I develop strong emotional attachments with my primary caregiver within the first eighteen months of my life. I could develop an attachment disorder if I experience abuse, neglect, or poor parenting skills. I need to trust you for comfort and won't understand if you are not aware that I am in pain or why you cannot always stop my pain. Attachment problems could arise if our bonding cycle is interrupted due to illness, hospitalization, divorce, or death. It can be dangerous for me to experience numerous changes in childcare, or an "emotionally absent" mother due to chronic maternal depression, drug abuse, or a severe psychiatric disorder. Gee, Mom, that's a lot of responsibility for you, but don't get discouraged.

Introduction Attachment is as basic a life requirement as the more traditionally cited food, shelter, and clothing. Attachment involves a state of mutual dependence felt by individuals, experienced but not necessarily manifested behaviorally. Attachment provides a sense of rootedness. Genuine attachment experiences are vital for sound development; in fact, for mental health and life everywhere. Attachment behaviours , as contrasted to feelings of attachment, are really frantic efforts to obtain close attachment. From Maier, H. W. Development Group Care of Children and Youth .

Attachment disorder From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Attachment disorder is based on the psychological theories that 1) normal mother-child attachment forms in the first two years of life and 2) if a normal attachment is not formed during the first two years, attachment can be induced later. This theory is used, for example, to explain the behavioral difficulties of adopted children. Attachment disorder therapy believes that the child must be subjected to physical and psychological stress in order to release repressed anger at their abandonment. The process is continued until the child's psychological resistance is broken and the child has been "regressed to an infantile state". Then, parents reenact early childhood behaviors such as cradling, rocking and bottle-feeding in order to form the new attachment. Treatment for attachment disorder may involve a reenactment of the birth process . This can include "holding therapies" or "compression therapies". These treatments have been aggressively criticised for resulting in the deaths of several children. Most famously, 10-year-old Candace Newmaker was smothered during a rebirthing procedure in Evergreen, Colorado on April 19, 1999. Her therapists were subsequently convicted of child abuse and imprisoned.

Reactive attachment disorder From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Reactive Attachment Disorder (sometimes called "RAD") ( DSM-IV ICD-10 F94.1/2) is a psychophysiologic condition with markedly disturbed and developmentally inappropriate social relatedness in most contexts that begins before age five years and is associated with grossly pathological care. This pathological caregiving behaviour may consist of any form of neglect, abuse , mistreatment and abandonment In Mental Retardation attachments to caregivers are consistent with the level of development. In Pervasive Developmental Disorders attachments to caregivers either fail to develop or are highly deviant, but this usually occurs in a context of reasonably supportive care. Due to maltreatment by caregivers, RAD sufferers have difficulty forming healthy relationships with their caregivers, peers and families. RAD can reportedly be diagnosed as early as the first month of life, but critics have charged such diagnoses are often inaccurate.

Rutter (1988) suggests that 'the first few years of life do have a special importance for bond formation and social development.' As John Bowlby emphasised as early as 1946, 'mother-love in infancy and childhood is as important as are vitamins and proteins for physically health.' Thus, those children who have been bereaved, neglected, physically abused or have received poor and inconsistent parenting are likely to have damaged attachments.

Home About Us Contact Us Membership ... Parenting Seminars Radio Family Night Guy Family Minute Weekend Magazine Relationship Topics Understanding Reactive Attachment Disorder Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) is a psychological impairment formed in the earliest years of life, initiated when an infant does not bond with his primary caregiver (generally after learning or feeling that the caregiver cannot be trusted to provide for his needs). This trauma is sometimes avoidable, as in cases of abuse and neglect, but it can also be triggered by unavoidable events in life, such as the death of a parent or a child’s unrelieved painful illness. Causes are varied but the results follow a tragic pattern. Addressing and overcoming the disorder is a slow and difficult road, but it is possible to heal. Without a secure attachment to a caregiver in the first year of life, children may not successfully proceed through crucial developmental cycles in the second year. This can hinder their growth in a number of areas, including self-control, self-esteem, conscience and the ability to function in relationships. Besides the obvious consequences of troubled future relationships, RAD can permanently alter the child’s developing brain and body, leading to distorted thought patterns, learning disabilities or chronic illness, as well as an inability to determine cause and effect. As these children grow up, their reactive behaviors include dependency in relationships, anti-social behavior, hopeless views of the world around them and an inability to deal with problems. Adults with RAD are three times more likely to commit a violent crime, as they frequently show a lack of conscience or remorse. They are also likely to perpetuate the disorder if they have their own children.

Home About Us Contact Us Membership ... Parenting Seminars Radio Family Night Guy Family Minute Weekend Magazine Relationship Topics Understanding Reactive Attachment Disorder Treatment A family struggling with Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) is often desperate for help but doesn’t know where to turn. The unattached child needs more than love and time, but his parents become frustrated and depressed, lose hope and even abandon the desire to help him after years of dealing with his anger — not to mention expensive and often unsuccessful treatment programs. Parents feel guilty and confused as they blame themselves for their child’s problems, and the family crumbles as the child attacks both parents and siblings with emotional and physical harm. Just as traditional discipline rarely works at home with RAD, so typical therapy is not successful either. Severely unattached children do not trust, cannot identify or verbalize their feelings, do not tell the truth and are not capable of a reciprocal relationship — all critical ingredients in an ideal model for psychological treatment. Unfortunately, some well-intended professionals have inflicted more harm on children through techniques such as “rebirthing” (in which a child is physically confined and then encouraged to free himself, simulating the birth experience). Rebirthing (which has caused suffocation in some cases) has been specifically denounced by the American Psychological Association, the U.S. Congress and is illegal in some states. Instead, accepted treatment for RAD commonly pursues a course of three steps: to have the child acknowledge the therapist’s authority, establish trust within the family (especially between the child and mother), and then move on to healing the trauma of the past.

My adopted teen has been recently diagnosed and we want to share respite and information with similar families. Regarding attachment disordered adopted kids, I suggest you contact FAIR (Families Adopting in Response) 650-856-3513. They are an old time organization with an excellent newsletter and they run this type of support group. I believe that they have a group in the East Bay or SF.
