Life Story: Fighting To Be A Family
A narrative of one family's struggle with attachment disorder, by Lilly W. Heyen.
http://www.babycenter.com/essay/4527.html

Extractions: LILY W. HEYEN I should have anticipated trouble when I saw the orphanage. Like most of the buildings in Eastern Europe, it was huge, ugly, barely functional. The winter freeze lived in the walls, the radiators impotent against the magnitude of the chill. The children were dressed in layers of unmatched clothing of varying size. The cold reflected more than the winter season. "Are there any children in this orphanage who are available for adoption?" we asked. Our translator questioned the director. A moment later came the answer that changed our lives. "There is a little boy. He is almost 4. He has rather big ears." My husband and I exchanged hopeful glances. "Can we see him?" Mickey was quiet, subdued, barely curious about the strangers who reached out their hands and attempted to lift him into their waiting laps. He resisted. He never made a sound. No matter. We fancied ourselves in love at first sight. After all, hadn't we always heard that loving a child enough would solve all problems? A good home, loving parents. What could go wrong? Effective attachment disorder. I'd never heard the term until Mickey came into my life in the winter of 1993. From that point on, I cohabitated with the disorder like someone in an abusive marriage with no means of escape.

Attachment Disorder
attachment disorder. What is an attachment disorder? One such problemthat children sometimes develop is called an attachment disorder.
http://www.state.nj.us/humanservices/adoption/resources/attach.html

Extractions: What is an attachment disorder? How does attachment theory explain problem behavior in children? The experiences that the child has with his or her primary caregiver leads to the development of a set of ideas about the world that consists of the childs expectations about love and care from others. The secure child has good self-esteem (a sense that he or she is worthwhile and that people care) and feels self-confident. His or her ideas about the world are such that he or she attributes responsiveness, warmth and trust to others. These positive ideas about people set the stage for cooperative interactions. Children who have been mistreated or abused may become insecure and, as a result, may not view the world as a safe place. These children can be disruptive as a way of attempting to regulate caregiving patterns. While their strategies are ineffective, disruptive behavior such as whining, noncompliance, and other negative forms of attention seeking behaviors may serve to regulate the parents proximity and monitoring of the child. The child does this because previous care was problematic and the child is insecure. What type of parent-child relationship problems lead to attachment disorders?

WinstonSalem, North Carolina facility providing attachment parenting and counseling services. Includes Category Health Mental Health attachment disorderattachment disorder treatment for families who struggle with attachmentand bonding. Hope from the Piedmont Attachment Center. Therapy.
http://www.attachtherapy.com/TPAC.htm

Extractions: Therapy My mission is to utilize the natural processes of attachment and bonding to facilitate healing within children and their families. Traditional therapies (play, talk and expressive) do not work with children who have attachment and bonding problems because they rely on the ability to form a trusting reciprocal relationship with the therapist, something a child with RAD cannot do! Therefore, professionals at the Piedmont Attachment Center, Inc. rely on a myriad of treatment techniques designed to reach the unreachable child. These techniques and interventions are tailored to meet the individual needs of the child and family in treatment and may include cognitive restructuring, psychodrama, holding, reparenting, behavioral management, narrative therapy, EMDR® and Theraplay®. I also utilize family and couples therapy to help parents and siblings heal from the emotional wounds that result from living with a rage-filled child. All therapy occurs within a nurturing, supportive and safe environment with active primary caregiver participation. The Piedmont Attachment Center, Inc.

http://www.adopting.org/DrArt/diagnosisrad.html

Extractions: There are several different sub-types of RAD. The ambivalent sub-type can be described as an "in-your-face" child. This is the child who is angry, oppositional, and who can be violent. The anxious sub-type is clingy, anxious, shows separation anxieties, among other symptoms. The avoidant sub-type is often overlooked. This child is very compliant, agreeable, and superficially engaging. This child often has a lack of depth to his emotions and functions as an "as-if" child; meaning that he tries to do and say what you want, but is not genuine, authentic, or real in emotional engagement. Finally, there is the disorganized subtype. This child often presents with bizarre symptoms.
