Someone gave me a copy of one of his DVD series. My husband and I watched it. All I can say is that it was more effective than sleeping pills, and I can see where those complaining of his credentials are coming from. It was a waste of time for us. Attachment therapists have a bad rep, although we love the one working with our daughter. There is no ONE cure to kids' issues, and anyone who claims the opposite is dangerous.

My advice - read and study everything, and pick out what works for your child. EVERY child is different, and no one way works for all kids or all parents.

Wasn't this the guy that a member here used and is in the article? Rindava?

Westvirginia - did you use him too?

[momraine]

Did it work for anyone? I do seem to remember someone here saying it worked, but I can't remember who.

My children have a peaceful, insightful and wiser mother at the helm because of the modality of services used by Dr. Post in guiding our family work. The Post modality requires me to work hard on behalf of my children, growing into the person I need to be in order to create the best climate of healing. The bigger a child's wounds the more the (parent) must grow to parent that child well. More children also means more healing as 2 or 3 bring more needs than 1. We must be strong enough to take responsibility for family healing without having created the wounds. Some parents may feel blamed which can lead to a temptation to blame the helping hand for not doing more. Parent-leaders take responsiblity for mistakes not personally made in order to bring change. Deeply wounded children require profound and sustained effort from parents. Love is enough and adapts itself to each situation.

so in a way she is saying she herself, not the kids, required $100,000 worth of therapy to be able to parent a 6 and 7 year old from foster care...

and actually that was kind of some of his nay-sayers point... many of these parents are emotionally healthy, well educated, people who adopt because they want the kids who need homes to have homes...

and then "Dr." Post tells them they are so emotionally unregulated they can't parent their child...

I'm still confused with your connection to this WestVirginia. If I'm recalling correctly, you used Post and were unsatisfied?
