A short and accessible introduction to what 'attachment' means, how you can recognise attachment disorders in children, and how you can help them.

This book offers an explanation of how complex problems during childhood may have their roots in the parent-child relationship during the early years, and later from children's involvement in the wider world. It explores the mindset of difficult and traumatised children, and the motivations behind apparently anti-social and defensive tendencies.

Author Colby Pearce has extensive experience working with assessment and therapy services in child protection, inter-country adoption, refugees, and community, child and family psychology.

A short introduction to attachment and attachment disorder includes case vignettes to illustrate theory in practice, and offers a comprehensive set of tried-and-tested practical strategies for parents, carers and practitioners in caring roles.
