Dimasmom,
Thanks, I'll consider it. I think I want to read some of the dissenting work first though. I'm always a bit suspicious when one treatment claims to be the answer to everything---which is what I often hear when it comes to attachment therapy. The more I think back on what I've been reading, the more I start wondering why attachment therapy was always the "first" answer. Perhaps as a layperson, from a completely different field, there is something I'm missing. I kind would want my (sometime in the near future) child to have a full medical work up, to see if any systemic problems may be the source of behaviors...or an attempt to learn more about the birth family---were mood disorders part of the family history? To use the cake analogy, it just seems like professionals who specialize in "attachment" seem to think all cakes need attachment icing....and all "bipolar" specialists need bipolar icing....and all ADHD specialists need ADHD icing. All of which leaves me very suspicious.
