Product Description
Building the Bonds of Attachment is the second edition of a critically and professionally acclaimed book for social workers, therapists, and parents who strive to assist poorly attached children. This work is a composite case study of the developmental course of one child following years of abuse and neglect. This work focuses on both the specialized psychotherapy and parenting that is often necessary in facilitating a child's psychological development and attachment security. It blends attachment theory and research, and trauma theory with general principles of both parenting and child and family therapy in developing a model for intervention. This work is a practical guide for the adult--whether professional or parent--who endeavor to help such children.

 Adopting a RAD kid, this is the book you should read! September 23, 2008
This is a great book for anyone who is adopting or recently adopted a RAD kid. Great information and real life scenarios. You follow a child's journey and learn what makes them do the things that they do. It is a day-to-day parenting guide, with some of the best techniques, logic and insight you will find any where! Easy to read, and not a lot of technical jargon.
Necessity for anyone working with children with a RAD diagnosis September 21, 2008
This book was very helpful and gave much insight from the childs point of view as well as the CYFD worker, therapist and therapeutic foster mothers point of view. Very helpful for anyone working with RAD diagnoses children. Highly recommended!!!!!
 Good intro to attachment concepts & treatment... September 7, 2008
As a social work student, I found this book valuable in both its discussion of attachment disorders, including descriptions of how they manifest in children's perceptions and behaviors, and its demonstration of effective interventions. A better understanding of attachment trauma and its effects is essential for preparing case workers, therapists, educators and willing foster parents. It seems we are losing too many children to often ineffective behavioral interventions for conduct disorders because we don't first develop the prerequisite conditions of trust and safety these children need. Hughes makes the point that children can't give what they haven't received, and that includes empathy, affection and authentic kindness.
Heartwrenching and powerful July 7, 2008
Excellent book! A must-read for anyone who works with children. It includes information that I believe anyone around children can utilize. Great information on how to deal with children who have been traumatized but it also has important information about parenting in general and helps us understand how children see the world.
Changed our life! June 20, 2008
We adopted a son with RAD and worked with an attachment therapist. Adopting the methods in this book made an enormous difference in our lives! Don't hesitate if you are considering this book!
