[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 542546, member: 1550"] I would find both a psychiatrist (something is badly wrong with him...not his fault, but he has been damaged) and an attachment therapist. A regular therapist is not equipped to deal with this child and all of his issues. You may want to read this link regarding unattached children: [URL]http://www.helpguide.org/mental/parenting_bonding_reactive_attachment_disorder.htm[/URL] There are three danger signs called the McDonald Triad.
