Assessing disorganized attachment behaviour in children : an evidence-based model for understanding and supporting families - London Jessica Kingsley Publishers 2014

Monograph 240p. ; 23cm.

<p><span style="line-height: 115%; font-family: Arial, sans-serif, &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;">Assessing Disorganized Attachment Behaviour in Children lays out an evidence-based model for working with and assessing children with disorganized attachment and their adult carers: families whose extreme, erratic and disturbing behaviour can make them perplexing and frustrating to work with. The model is designed to identify key indicators and explanatory mechanisms of child maltreatment: disorganized attachment in the child, a parent's unresolved loss or trauma, disconnected and extremely insensitive parenting, and low parental mentalisation. The book also outlines ways of assessing children for disorganized attachment and carer capacity, and proposes interventions. Accessible and practical, this book is essential reading for child protection professionals.</span></p>
