	EEG Spectrum International - Neurofeedback: A Treatment for Reactive Attachment Disorder
		Although many people with RAD have histories of trauma as well, the etiology of attachment disorder is not the trauma per se, but the trauma primarily as a further indicator of an environment of neglect.
		It is a disorder born from the significant failure of emotional and neurological attunement between mother and baby.
		Reactive attachment disorder is, at its foundation, a disorder of brain regulation.

	Reactive Attachment Disorder (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Lack of adequate research on reactive attachment disorder is a hindrance to forming the well-defined definition of the disorder that is necessary for reliability and validity in its diagnosis.
		The difficulties in conceptualization of RAD are because its causes are uncertain.
		The paper stated that RAD is based on the inability of children to form normal attachments but does not specify whether the children have difficulty forming attachment exclusively with their primary caretaker or if the difficulty extends to the other family members and peers as well.

	Attachment Disorder treated at the Martha G. Welch Center (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		At present, Reactive Attachment Disorder is not well understood within the psychiatric community, and for this reason there are not many Psychiatrists, Psychologists or Social Workers who have the expertise or training to diagnose or to treat them properly.
		Attachment disordered children are in fact unattached children, and therefore they cannot be "managed" in any normal sense of the word.
		Unresolved childhood attachment problems, which all adults harbor to some extent, are stirred up and magnified by the rejection, causing stress for the mother and interfering with her ability to deal effectively with her child.

	Mental Health: Reactive Attachment Disorder
		Reactive attachment disorder (RAD) is a condition found in children who have received grossly negligent care and who do not form a healthy emotional attachment with their primary caregivers -- usually their mothers -- before age 5.
		It is through attachment with a loving and protective caregiver that a young child learns to love and trust others, to become aware of others' feelings and needs, to regulate his or her emotions, and to develop healthy relationships and a positive self-image.
		RAD occurs when attachment between a young child and his or her primary caregiver does not occur or is interrupted due to grossly negligent care.

		A major problem with the diagnosis of Reactive Attachment Disorder is the painful truth that many of the very people we parents turn to for help - professionals in the mental health, neurological, and medical fields - often lack the knowledge and expertise to treat our children.
		My son was diagnosed with severe attachment disorder with some of the most violent and frightening symptoms and he made it.

	Understanding Reactive Attachment Disorder
		Having experienced thousands of hours in a living situation with dozens of children who have attachment disorders, I find that the one trait which separates them from children with other serious emotional disorders is their pervasive, often insidious, need to control.
		When you talked about children with RAD and their need to control, one of Hannah's favorite insidious, controlling behaviors came to mind...entering and exiting doors and proceeding up and down stairs, all very, very slowly when I'm behind her.
		The attachment therapists I have encountered, however, are the first to tell you that RAD therapy is a long hard road requiring the individualized use of a wide range of therapuetic modalities, sometimes including nurturing holds.
