Frequently Asked Questions E-Mail to a Friend Printer Friendly About Reactive Attachment Disorder of Infancy or Early Childhood by Anita Gurian, Ph.D. Introduction Why does it happen? Real Life Stories How is it treated? ... Who is likely to have it? Introduction Attachment refers to the intimate bond formed between an infant or very young child and the primary caregiver. This bond, or attachment, is considered vital to the child's emotional development and ability to establish other healthy social relationships. When infants and children under the age of five show disturbed and developmentally inappropriate social relatedness and do not initiate or respond to most social interactions, a diagnosis of Reactive Attachment Disorder is considered. The difficulties of children who develop this disorder are due primarily to a grossly deprived environment. There may be repeated changes of caregivers, or caregivers who persistently disregard the child's physical needs or emotional needs for comfort, stimulation and affection. Back to top.

A secure attachment t is considered vital to the child's emotional development and ability to establish other healthy social relationships. Infants and children with RAD show disturbed and developmentally inappropriate social relatedness and do not initiate or respond to most social interactions. There are two major subtypes of Reactive Attachment Disorder: the inhibited type, characterized by the persistent failure to initiate and to respond to most social interactions in a developmentally appropriate way; and the disinhibited type, characterized by an indiscriminate sociability or a lack of selectivity in the choice of attachment figures. Reactive Attachment Disorder is different from Severe Mental Retardation, or from a Pervasive Developmental Disorder such as Autistic Disorder. A child with Reactive Attachment Disorder has the capacity to comprehend social relationships, but does not function appropriately, while a child with Severe Mental Retardation or a Pervasive Developmental Disorder suffers from a neurologically based disability that impedes expected development in social relationships.

Home About Us Contact Us Membership ... Member Services Radio Family Minute Weekend Magazine Adventures in Odyssey Radio Theatre ... Relationship Topics Understanding Reactive Attachment Disorder Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) is a psychological impairment formed in the earliest years of life, initiated when an infant does not bond with his primary caregiver (generally after learning or feeling that the caregiver cannot be trusted to provide for his needs). This trauma is sometimes avoidable, as in cases of abuse and neglect, but it can also be triggered by unavoidable events in life, such as the death of a parent or a child’s unrelieved painful illness. Causes are varied but the results follow a tragic pattern. Addressing and overcoming the disorder is a slow and difficult road, but it is possible to heal. Without a secure attachment to a caregiver in the first year of life, children may not successfully proceed through crucial developmental cycles in the second year. This can hinder their growth in a number of areas, including self-control, self-esteem, conscience and the ability to function in relationships. Besides the obvious consequences of troubled future relationships, RAD can permanently alter the child’s developing brain and body, leading to distorted thought patterns, learning disabilities or chronic illness, as well as an inability to determine cause and effect. As these children grow up, their reactive behaviors include dependency in relationships, anti-social behavior, hopeless views of the world around them and an inability to deal with problems. Adults with RAD are three times more likely to commit a violent crime, as they frequently show a lack of conscience or remorse. They are also likely to perpetuate the disorder if they have their own children.

At the Center we use several tests as part of a comprehensive assessment to determine what attachment issues are causing problems and what will be the most effective treatment plan. We work very closely with the parents to develop a plan to help remediate attachment problems. This checklist can help you identify areas of potential problem. This checklist is not meant to substitute for a professional assessment and treatment plan. Circle the items if they are frequently or often true. My child acts cute or charms others to get others to do what my child wants. My child often does not make eye contact when adults want to make eye contract with my child. My child is overly friendly with strangers. My child pushes me away or becomes stiff when I try to hug, unless my child wants something from me.

Reactive Attachment Disorder Attachment behavior has become programmed into human beings, and is found to operate similarly in almost all cultures. The purpose and function of attachment is the same regardless of ethnic or cultural differences: to keep the baby close to the caregiver for safety and protection; to allow the child to explore and learn within a safe context ("secure base"); and to develop a loving and reciprocal relationship which can be passed on to other generations.

116. Chapter Two Literature Review The definition of Reactive attachment disorder, given in Chapter I of this thesis,is a good point of origin, but too narrow for the purpose of defining the http://www.visi.com/~jlb/thesis/AD.html

Attachment Disorders DSM-IV definition does not take into account that in most cases the effects of early attachment relationship dysfunction take the form of gradually-appearing, but long-lasting, childhood disturbances which may not present themselves before the DSM-IV required age of five (Sroufe et al., 1999). This literature review seeks to address all serious disorders of attachment, not only those of the magnitude labeled Reactive Attachment Disorders. Sroufe et al. (1999) caution against classifying all insecurely attached children as suffering from psychopathology, but instead stress that early anxious attachment begins a path of disturbances in development which, without intervention, will likely lead to future pathology. Despite their warning, it is very easy to be tempted to consider all children who lack secure attachments to be disordered after learning about the benefits of secure attachment and the consequences of insecure attachment. Clearly disorganized attachment is more disruptive than stable anxious attachment. Levy and Orlans (1998) note that most severe attachment disorders occur among children with disorganized-disoriented attachment and that this pattern exists at an alarming rate (more than 80% of children) in maltreating, high-risk families. Causes of Attachment Disorders Adoption and Attachment Disorders The most striking cases of attachment disorder are demonstrated by children who spent a large portion of their infancy in large institutions such as orphanages. These children did not receive the basic nurturing human infants need to develop a positive internal working model. In a study of Romanian infant adoptees by O'Connor, Bredenkamp, Rutter, and the ERA Study Team (1999), it was found that children exposed to early severe deprivation were predisposed to attachment disorders including disorders of nonattachment. Furthermore, the extent of the attachment disorders for adoptees was affected by the duration of the deprivation before the adoption and the availability of a sensitive caregiver once the child was adopted. Case examples cited by Lieberman and Zeanah (1995) show that nonattachment is not exclusive to institutionalized children. It can also be found among children who experience mediocre or emotionally unavailable foster care and frequent changes in placement.

Join CABF Free to Families! Members Only Welcome ... Suicide Hotlines Press Room CABF Press release Chicago (September 26, 2002) - Calling it "dangerous and harmful" last week the U.S. Congress passed a resolution introduced by U.S. Rep. Sue Myrick (R-N.C.) asking all states to enact laws banning a therapeutic technique known as rebirthing - "to reenact the birthing process in a manner that includes restraint and creates a situation in which a patient may suffer physical injury or death." (H. Con. Res. 435) Rebirthing came into focus in April 2001 after Candace Newmaker, a 10-year-old North Carolina girl, died as a result of a rebirthing treatment she had received in Evergreen, Colorado a day before her death. Rebirthing is a controversial technique for treating attachment disorder (failure of children to form developmentally appropriate bonds with their caregivers) and is used as a means of connecting adopted children with their new parents. Rebirthing has not been approved by the American Psychological Association and is already illegal in many states. Children with bipolar disorder have behavior, when ill, that may include oppositionality and rages, disturbed relationships with family and peers, school refusal due to severe anxiety, depression, and suicide attempts. If untreated, the illness has a mortality rate higher than that of childhood leukemia, according to CABF, and many children may go on to abuse substances if not treated early.
