Product Description
Katie, an abused, neglected, and poorly attached child, spent the first years of her life with parents who cared little about her. As a result she is an angry, unhappy, and manipulative kid. Is there any hope for her to grow up and become a healthy and happy adult? In BUILDING THE BONDS OF ATTACHMENT Dr. Daniel Hughes follows Katie through her life with abusive birth parents and many foster homes, showing how therapeutic parenting combined with specialized therapy can heal negative effects of reactive attachment disorder and transform children like Katie into happy, content, and caring people. BUILDING THE BONDS OF ATTACHMENT is the second edition of a bestselling book for parents of children with reactive attachment disorder as well as for social workers and therapists. Masterfully-written and engaging, BUILDING THE BONDS OF ATTACHMENT, 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 book is a must-have practical guide for the adultwhether professional or parentwho endeavors to help poorly attached children. The second edition of this widely popular book presents the many changes in the intervention model over the past 8 years. These include many changes in both the psychotherapist's and parent's interventions. The attachment history of the adults is made more relevant. There is greater congruence between attachment theory and research and the interventions being demonstrated.

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.
