Items related to Attachment Disorder: A Parent's Account of Raising...
Raising a child with attachment disorder requires dealing with mental health professionals on all levels. But the parents must also deal with school officials, law enforcement, family, friends, church members, and neighbors. It's an overwhelming job filled with one crisis after another. Raising a child with RAD takes every resource and every ounce of strength and hope residing in the parent. It is like riding a roller coaster in the dark. Even when things are level and slowly moving along, you know another crisis is just ahead to take your breath away. I've learned to believe in my child's healing despite negative input from others. I will share with you what I have learned along the way, my mistakes as well as the things I did right. A child can recover from attachment disorder and live a normal life, but it takes proper treatment and room to heal.

From the Author:
Just wanted my readers to know that my son continues to improve everyday. There was a time when my hope almost left and that seems long, long ago. He is highly motivated to succeed in his life, as we work on his core beliefs about himself and about the world. I look at the strong young man attending regular (!) classes at his high school, and memories of the frightened and angry boy fade a little more.
About the Author:

Because the author wanted to be honest and forthright about what really happened, she wanted the freedom to tell the unpleasant and unflattering details. Deciding to protect identities was a difficult decision, as the main goal of the author was to help others caught in the difficulties of this disorder. This book is about perseverance and hope.
