[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 550882, member: 11791"] The root of the problem in Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) is lack of attachment. But, because the child ends up feeling that the whole world is against them and that the only one they can rely on is themself... all sorts of inappropriate behaviors come into the picture. If it truly is a case of Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD), those who just try to fix the behaviors... have lost the battle before they start. No matter what methods are used. Those who try to fix the ability to relate and build some form of healthy attachment... may still lose the battle, depending on a raft of factors - but it is the only approach that has positive outcomes. If Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) is not accurate but there is insecure attachment at some level... just trying to fix the behaviors can be as disasterous as the same approach with Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD). Most of the world doesn't understand the need to find and fix the problem (fill in the blank on almost any difficult child problem source...) - the focus is on fixing the behavior. If you don't know what you're dealing with for a problem, the solution applied may be disasterous - even in a purely medical situation... like some of the stories on the recent watercooler thread. Why would psychological and developmental issues be any different? [/QUOTE]
