Facilitating Developmental Attachment: The Road to Emotional Recovery and Behavioral Change in Foster and Adopted Children Paperback – 1 June 2000

This is a good book on children with attachment disorder and practices that can help professionals facilitate change and positive, healthy attachment between these children and their foster/adoptive families. Hughes is a very knowledgeable and caring professional who truly cares about his clients. I will definitely refer back to this book if I have clients with severe attachment disorders who need to bond with their new parents. More child mental health professionals need to read this--in fact I think if a high school friend's therapists had read this she might still be alive today.

I am a foster parent and most certainly will read this book several time. The real examples and case studies make it very easy to read. I could hardly set it down. Loved it!

We have been through quite a journey so far with our newly adopted girls, 7,8. Many resources are ineffective that the special needs program gives you when you start. This book helps you understand and work through the special issues of neglected and abused children. I wish we had this book before we evedr adopted.

What a brilliant book on a difficult subject matter

You will never go wrong with anything Daniel Hughes has to say on this topic. This book is totally helpful and informative.
