PARENTING TRAUMATIZED CHILDREN - the book

The book "Parenting Traumatized Children" is subtitled "The Parents Book on Attachment Disorders" because the book was written specifically with an audience of parents in mind. It uses language that is easy for parents to understand to describe what attachment is; what things can cause an attachment Disruption for children; how an attachment disruption can result in both neurological and psychological problems, as well as mild to serious behavior problems for children; and provides an in-depth look at the parenting philosophies and techniques that are the most useful when parenting children who have experienced trauma during their early lives. It also discusses what other psychiatric disorders children may have when they've been severely traumatized, the various intensive therapies that are available for children who have serious attachment problems or AD, and how to find a properly qualified and well trained therapist to treat your children.

In addition, the book discusses re-parenting techniques that can help children to learn healthier attachment behaviors, as well as a variety of adjunctive therapies that have been used over the years to try to stimulate brain development for traumatized children, many of whom have immaturity and damage in their brains. Many parents have found the book to be extremely useful, and a number of therapists have bought it so that they can share it with the parents that they're trying to help to better understand what's going on for their traumatized children. This book, by the highly acclaimed author of "Children Who Shock and Surprise" is fast becoming quite popular with both Parents and clinicians with varying degrees of professional training.
