Candace Newmaker was an adopted girl whose mother felt the child
suffered from an emotional disorder that prevented loving
attachment. The mother sought attachment therapy--a fringe form of
psychotherapy--for the child and was present at her death by
suffocation during that therapy. This text examines the beliefs of
the girl's mother and the unlicensed therapists, showing that the
death, though unintentional, was a logical outcome of this form of
treatment. The authors explain legal factors that make it difficult
to ban attachment therapy, despite its significant dangers. Much of
the text's material is drawn from court testimony from the
therapists' trial, and from 11 hours of videotape made while
Candace was forcibly held beneath a blanket by several adults
during the "therapy." This book also presents history connecting
attachment therapy to century-old fringe treatments, explaining why
they may appeal to an unsophisticated public. This book will appeal
to general readers, such as parents and adoption educators, as well
as to scholars and students in clinical psychology, child
psychiatry, and social work.
