We used a variety of attachment therapies and have found them very helpful, but what I did notice is that different kids required different therapies even though their circumstances were similar.
We were tought a very confrontive therapy in New York that me as the mom had to do on my own at home. It was extremely successful with our most severe child at the time, but I felt it was more harmful to a couple of the others.
We used another type of therapy that was somwhat confrontive done by a therapist from Utah who was a healed RAD child herslf.
It was helpful with some kids.
We had a therapist use EMDR with some kids and that with reparenting and RAD parenting allowed for healing in that child.
It's important to talk openly with the therapist before and after a session to understand what is being done.
I think not persuing the attachment treatment could be much more harmful then dealing with the trauma of her past.
