Frankly, for most children, weekly attachment based therapy, such as Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy, is usually a better approach...if there is a trained and experienced therapist near you who can provide such therapy. If not, the two-week intensive can be a good beginning...but it is not a cure or answer...it is a beginning and not an end. You will still need follow-up treatment by a therapist who is trained and has had lots of experience providing attachment-based treatment.

We won't do a two-week intensive unless the family has a follow-up therapist. We offer, and many take us up on this, for the follow-up therpist to come out for the two weeks and then be trained. We don't charge for that and it is a good way for a therapist who might be interested in this work to get some good training and experience. If you go to my website you will find some parent and child writings by people who have gone through this.

Also, if you go to my Monday 5pm EST chat, I occassionally have a parent who has attended a two-week intensive sign on to chat. Note, that I will not be on this Monday, but I will the Monday after. The chat is on this website.

Regards,
