This book shows how to work successfully with emotional and
behavioral problems rooted in deficient early attachments. In
particular, it addresses the emotional difficulties of many of the
foster and adopted children living in our country who are unable to
form secure attachments. Traditional interventions, which do not
teach parents how to successfully engage the child, frequently do
not provide the means by which the seriously damaged child can form
the secure attachment that underlies behavioral change. Dr. Daniel
Hughes maps out a treatment plan designed to help the child begin
to experience and accept, from both the therapist and the parents,
affective attunement that he or she should have received in the
first few years of life. Hughes' approach includes: -Using foster
and adopted parents as co-therapists -Teaching differentiation
between old and new parents -Overcoming the perception of
discipline as abusive -Framing misbehavior, discipline, conflicts,
and parental authority as important aspects of a child's learning
to trust. All children, at the core of their beings, need to be
attached to someone who considers them to be very special and who
is committed to providing for their ongoing care. Children who lose
their birth parents desperately need such a relationship if they
are to heal and grow. This book shows therapists how to facilitate
this crucial bond. A Jason Aronson Book
