[QUOTE="buddy, post: 570931, member: 12886"] Hi, I ditto mwm and in the mean time you might want to read what your explosive child is trying to tell you by Doug Riley (just saw it on sale on Amazon ) and the explosive child by ross Greene. (I got a great used copy for a few dollars on Amazon ) Most docs and mental health therapists do not really get attachment disorders well so if you think that could be a part (caused by disruption in trust/bonding between ages birth thru three). If he was witness to violence that young it could have deeply affected him even if he can't consciously remember. Look up reactive attachment disorder and attachment disorder and see what you think about the symptoms. Of course there could be other things mental health wise and/or neurological disabilities like being on the autism spectrum which can make him unable to realize or consider how others feel without support and training to learn. A neuropsychology evaluation will help you sort through this. Our neuropsychologist did diagnosis my son with reactive attachment disorder among other diagnosis.'s. We worked with specialized attachment disorder therapists and it was intensive specialized treatment, nothing like typical therapy or behavior strategies (we used Theraplay, which is not play therapy) Luckily the psychologist we used also worked with autistic children so she could adapt to that part of his learning style. There are therapies and some people do improve. Some do not. A therapist who is not specifically trained in this area can make things much worse so if this is a consideration for you do your homework. There are good books. One is Love is not enough. Many will discuss adoption but the therapy is the same no matter the cause. [/QUOTE]
