Attachment Therapist

Dear Sue,

You are right, there are not any therapists listed on ATTACH in Chicago. However, the Theraplay Institute is, I think, in the process of becoming an ATTACH member and getting the necessary training etc to become a registered clinical member. The head of it has been to one training with Dr. Daniel Hughes, so I can suggest you contact her (I forget her name at the moment, but if you call the Institute, I can confirm the name for you.) For a young child, if not too disturbed and if there is some positive attachment capacity present without substantial or significant trauma, Theraplay can be a good treatment to try.

Best of luck
