Attachment Facilitating Parenting

Attachment Facilitating Parenting

Many adopted and foster children have had very difficult and painful histories with their first parents. These children have experienced chronic early maltreatment within a caregiving relationship. Such a history can lead to the development of Complex Trauma (Cook et. al., 2003; Cook et. al., 2005), disorders of attachment, and Reactive Attachment Disorder.

Note: This is a very interesting blog post suggesting that child abuse and neglect can cause attachment disorders. So can't bouncing a foster kid from home to home. But I guess when you're in a position of expertise, you get to make the rules. And for you die hard researchers out there, get your notebooks out.
