A general introduction to attachment disorder
2/29/2008
Clinical psychologist Niels Peter Rygaard (who is also an adoptive father) gives an introduction to the term "attachment disorder", it's general causes, and his book about treatment. After having treated the severe consequences of early deprivation in adopted children for some decades, Dr. Rygaard is presently working as an adoptive family therapist, and has initiated a European general education program for orphanage staffs in promoting attachment-based caretaking. His policies have positively influenced the legal adoption process in Denmark, including mandatory pre-and postadoption education conducted by the Danish State authorities, free of charge.
