[QUOTE="Snoopy, post: 519850, member: 14038"] These sorts of books/movies are quite disturbing to me but I find myself extremely drawn to them (even before adopting my daughter). Several years ago, I never could have read a book like this but since my daughter (diagnosed with Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) and PTSD/DTD) is attached now...and doing very well...I feel more free to read books on the subject. I've been contemplating going to see the movie We Need To Talk About Kevin (adapted from the book) which is about a similar situation. in my humble opinion, I definitely think these cases are due to damage done in-utero and are also due to environmental factors. Not sure I buy into the genetic factor. And the good news is that the brain is extremely plastic so healing can occur with the right interventions. Thanks for sharing the name of this book. I hadn't heard of it. [/QUOTE]
