  • Experiences of Attachment Therapy
    EXPERIENCES OF ATTACHMENT THERAPY: A FOLLOW-UP STUDY OF ADOPTIVE MOTHERS by JANE SHOEMAKER WIMMER (Under the Direction of M. Elizabeth Vonk) ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to explore mothers’ experiences of attachment therapy as related to their current relationships with their adopted children. The therapy cited in this study was family-focused intervention which engaged the child and parents in resolving attachment difficulties. All of the children were adopted from the Georgia public child welfare system and had been diagnosed with Reactive Attachment Disorder, a serious emotional disorder of childhood that is exhibited by lack of bonding of the child to parental figures. The 16 mothers interviewed in this study had participated in state-sponsored attachment therapy and were part of an evaluation of that therapy in 2003. This research study employed a descriptive qualitative design that used in-depth semi- structured interviews, artifacts, and a reflective research journal for data collection. The population was purposefully chosen, and all mothers who were part of the 2003 study participated. Three research questions guided this study: (1) What was the experience of attachment therapy for the participants? (2) How did the participants view their current relationship with their adopted child? (3) What were the participants’ perceptions of the role attachment therapy played in their current level of functioning? Data analysis guided by the constant comparative method revealed eight major findings. The experience of attachment therapy was (1) consistently supportive, (2) emotionally painful, and (3) physically safe. The mothers’ current relationships with their adopted children were (4) continuously stressful and (5) unquestionably permanent.

  • Understanding and Treating Attachments
    Understanding and Treating Attachment Problems in Children: What Went Wrong, and How Can Problems Be Fixed Dave Ziegler, Ph.D. Executive Director Jasper Mountain 37875 Jasper-Lowell Road Jasper, Oregon Effects of Trauma on Attachment 2 Abstract Developmental psychology, child development and clinical application with trauma have all placed important roles in a new understanding of attachment and bonding problems in early childhood. This article is broken into two parts. Part I discusses the important role that attachment plays in the future social success of children. It explains the tenants of traditional attachment theory and how trauma affects healthy attachment. This discussion continues with revisions to attachment theory that respond to its historical weak points. A new theoretical view of attachment is proposed identifying the causes of attachment behavior. Part II turns to clinical aspects of the treatment of attachment problems. Problems caused by trauma are identified and the many therapeutic complexities are outlined. A model for treating attachment disturbances is proposed that discusses the clinical process in three distinct areas: disrupted attachment, anxious attachment, and no attachment. The article ends with a discussion of the prognosis for a successful outcome and projects time requirements for attachment disorder therapy. Effects of Trauma on Attachment 3 Understanding and Treating Attachment Problems in Children: What Went Wrong and How Can Problems Be Fixed Introduction The study of Psychology over the last hundred years can be compared to reading a novel starting late into the book and reading progressively backwards to the beginning. Our understanding of the complex mind and psychological make-up of Homo Sapiens has begun with adults, moved to young adults, teens, adolescents, toddlers and finally we are beginning to read with great interest the first chapters of life.

RAD is a “Stress and Trauma-Related Disorder” that stems from an inability for a child to attach to a caregiver. Aside from some psychoanalytic foundations, most of what is known about RAD is based off John Bowlby’s attachment theory. As research has developed, RAD has been considered its own diagnosis in the DSM-5 rather than labelled under the umbrella term of “attachment disorder.” A biopsychosocial model of RAD argues that RAD is primarily formed and exacerbated by neglect from a caregiver that can infringe upon the child’s ability to form relationships later in life. Being a new diagnosis, current and detailed prevalence and prognosis of RAD are unknown. In addition, legal implications of maltreatment further contribute to the under-diagnosis of RAD.

  • Interventions Targeting Sensory Challenges in Autism Spectrum Disorder: a Systematic Review
    Interventions Targeting Sensory ChallengesAmy S. Weitlauf, PhD,a Nila Sathe, MA,in MLIS, Autism b Melissa L. McPheeters, Spectrum PhD, MPH, b Zachary E. Warren, PhDa, c CONTEXT: Disorder: A Systematic Reviewabstract Sensory challenges are common among children with autism spectrum disorder OBJECTIVE: (ASD). To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of interventions targeting sensory DATA SOURCES: challenges in ASD. STUDY SELECTION: Databases, including Medline and PsycINFO. Two investigators independently screened studies against predetermined DATA EXTRACTION: criteria. One investigator extracted data with review by a second. Investigators independently assessed risk of bias and strength of evidence (SOE), or confidence in the RESULTS: estimate of effects. Twenty-four studies, including 20 randomized controlled trials (RCTs), were included. Only 3 studies had low risk of bias. Populations, interventions, and outcomes varied. Limited, short-term studies reported potential positive effects of several approaches in discrete skill domains. Specifically, sensory integration-based approaches improved sensory and motor skills-related measures (low SOE). Environmental enrichment improved nonverbal cognitive skills (low SOE). Studies of auditory integration-based approaches did not improve language (low SOE). Massage improved symptom severity and sensory challenges in studies with likely overlapping participants (low SOE). Music therapy studies evaluated different protocols and outcomes, precluding synthesis (insufficient SOE). Some positive effects were reported for other approaches, but findings were inconsistent LIMITATIONS: (insufficient SOE). CONCLUSIONS: Studies were small and short-term, and few fully categorized populations. Some interventions may yield modest short-term (<6 months) improvements in sensory- and ASD symptom severity-related outcomes; the evidence base is small, and the durability of the effects is unclear.

  • Reactive Attachment Disorder
    Mental Health Outpatient Treatment for Reactive Attachment Disorder Date of Origin: 05/21/2009 Last Review Date: 09/23/2020 Effective Date: 10/01/2020 Dates Reviewed: 05/13, 05/14, 05/15, 07/16, 07/17, 07/18, 07/19, 09/20 Developed By: Medical Necessity Criteria Committee I. Description Reactive Attachment Disorder of Infancy or Early Childhood (RAD) is characterized by markedly disturbed and developmentally inappropriate ways of relating socially in most contexts. It can take the form of a persistent failure to initiate or respond to most social interactions in a developmentally appropriate way (known as the "inhibited" form), or it can present itself as indiscriminate sociability, such as excessive familiarity with relative strangers (known as the "disinhibited form"). Children with reactive attachment disorder are presumed to have grossly disturbed internal models for relating to others, based largely on pathogenic care provided in infancy and early childhood. Consequently, they display markedly inappropriate behaviors in their attempts to gain warmth, approval, and social connectedness with others. The following criteria are intended as a guide for establishing medical necessity for the requested level of care. They are not a substitute for clinical judgment and should be applied by appropriately trained clinicians giving consideration to the unique circumstances of each patient, including co-morbidities, safety and supportiveness of the patient’s environment, and the unique needs and vulnerabilities of children and adolescents. Diagnosis: Appropriate diagnosis is made according to diagnostic criteria in the current edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. Assessment & Treatment Notes: • Assessment for RAD requires evidence directly obtained from serial observations of the child interacting with his/her primary caregivers and with unfamiliar adults, as well as careful review of history (if available).

Eric Eichler Talking Through the Body: A Comparative Study of Cognitive- Behavioral and Attachment-Based Treatments for Childhood Trauma ABSTRACT Childhood abuse and neglect have been shown to have a devastating impact on an individual’s social, emotional, and physical development. This study was undertaken in order to determine the best treatment approach for survivors of childhood trauma. The author investigated the impact of traumatic stress on the brain, and reviewed the psychoanalytic, child development, and neurobiological literature on the importance of the attachment relationship for healthy development. Various perspectives on the diagnosis of childhood trauma were explored, including models that centralize childhood trauma as the cause of much of the spectrum of mental illness we see today. The author researched the theoretical underpinnings of both cognitive-behavioral and attachment-based therapies, before analyzing representative interventions from each school of thought in order to determine the strengths and weaknesses of each approach.

  • The Move from Categories to Process: Attachment Phenomena and Clinical Evaluation
    IMHJ (Wiley) RIGHT BATCH top of AH ARTICLE THE MOVE FROM CATEGORIES TO PROCESS: ATTACHMENT PHENOMENA AND CLINICAL EVALUATION ARIETTA SLADE City University of New York and Yale Child Study Center ABSTRACT: Despite the degree to which attachment theory and research have been embraced by clinicians in recent years, many remain unsure as to what this perspective adds to clinical understanding and psychodynamic thinking about the clinical process. In this article, I outline some ways that developments in the study of attachment have the potential to enrich our clinical work with children and families, and may be particularly illuminating with respect to certain aspects of evaluation, formulation, and diagnosis. This added value comes not from formally assessing patients’ attachment classification but from sensi- tizing clinicians to observing the functioning of the attachment system and to the internal and interpersonal functions of attachment processes. Such awareness on the part of the therapist makes it possible for these dynamicregulatory, defense, and motivational systems to be addressed within the contextof evaluation and ongoing psychotherapeutic work. Thinking about attachment processes within the clinical situation does not supplant other aspects of dynamically oriented assessment and evaluation, but rather is theoret- ically consistent with psychoanalytic models of development and offers new levels of richness and un- derstanding to formulations and treatment planning.
