Facilitating Developmental Attachment

Focusing on emotional and behavioral issues stemming from inadequate early attachments, this book provides insights into the challenges faced by foster and adopted children. It critiques traditional interventions that fail to foster secure attachments and presents a treatment plan by Dr. Daniel Hughes. This plan emphasizes the importance of affective attunement from therapists and parents, essential for healing. The narrative highlights the critical need for children who have lost their birth parents to form special, committed relationships to support their growth and recovery.
