If they think it risks children's lives then they apparently can't read. Nancy Thomas is a wonderful person and her parenting techniques are very nurturing, loving, and provide the structured environment traumatized children need for healing. She's written another book with the help of her daughters, one of whom was an attachment disrdered adopted child. In this book, entitled Dandelion on my Pillow, Butcher Knife Beneath, you get the mom's viewpoint and the child's viewpoint of what it was like to grow up using these parenting methods. It's a good book but the children in it are very disturbed and so I don't usually recommend it to newer parents. However, I can't stand the Nancy Thomas bashers who have no HONEST basis to back up their idiotic opinions of good theraputic parenting.
