Abstract:

<p> Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) is a potential consequence of pervasive neglectful and unpredictable caregiving behaviors, and has extensive psychological and daunting consequences on the vulnerable and developing young brain. Current treatment strategies for RAD are conspicuously lacking, relying on indiscriminately targeted psychopharmacological therapies with pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic complications due to developmental vulnerabilities, and the unavailability of evidence based psychotherapeutic interventions. At present, there is an acute demand for innovative research into

Abstract:

Abstract : The diagnostic criteria for Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) have remained fairly constant over the last few decades. However, the most recent change in the fifth version of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5; American Psychiatry Association; APA, 2013) is fairly significant, as the inhibited and disinhibited types of RAD that were found in the previous versions of the manual have been removed. RAD has been replaced with a definition that resembles in some ways the previous inhibited type. Diagnosed in early childhood, this disorder interferes with th

Abstract:

Adopted children with special needs can experience a multitude of developmental, emotional, and behavioral issues as a result of pre-adoption maltreatment. On rare occasions, maltreated children can display behaviors severe enough to fit the criteria of reactive attachment disorder (RAD). Children with RAD are known to engage in self-destructive behavior, talk of killing others or themselves, verbal and physical aggression toward peers and adults, and a lack of discernment between parental figures and strangers. Given the uniqueness of these behaviors, the rarity of the disorder, and the lack

Abstract:

<p> Research on Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) is minimal and is limited primarily to describing its nosology and clinical treatment practices. This qualitative, multi-case, case study identified school-based academic and emotional–behavioral interventions and factors which contribute to or hinder progress by conducting open-ended, semistructured interviews with high school students with a diagnosis of RAD and with school personnel who worked directly with them. Participants were from two neighboring school districts in a relatively large western state. Participants included five hig

Abstract:

Parent-Child Interaction Therapy is a probably efficacious, evidenced-based treatment, which has been proven to decrease problem behaviors of children, as well as improve parent-child interactions. The first phase is the Child-Directed Interaction (CDI), which allows the child to lead the play session, while parents are taught to interact without giving demands, asking questions, or providing criticism. According to the DSM-IV-TR, Reactive Attachment Disorder is a rare diagnosis. Many attachment therapists indicate that traditional approaches to treatment have not been demonstrated as being ef

Abstract:

Common diagnoses have greater emphasis in the Master of Social Work (MSW) Program, yet there is an oversight on other disorders that are just as important to address, such as Reactive Attachment Disorders (RAD). Although researchers have determined a need for additional training and education on RAD, none have measured MSW students’ level of knowledge on RAD and whether or not it influences their perceived preparedness. The purpose of this study was to analyze the perceived preparedness of MSW students to serve children with RAD before and after participating in an educational training. The st

Abstract:

Reactive attachment disorder (RAD), a disorder marked by a severe disruption in developmental attachment, is most often diagnosed in youth who have received substandard or negligent care from their primary caregiver. Such youth have increased risk of behavioral and emotional issues as well as future relationship problems; they generally do not respond to traditional evidence-based practices of therapy. The present study examined the use of the biofield energy practice of Healing Touch (HT) as a viable therapeutic option for improved quality of life for youth diagnosed with RAD. A quantitative,

Abstract:

Background: Reactive attachment disorder (RAD) has been described as one of the least researched and most poorly understood psychiatric disorders (Chaffin et al., 2006). Despite this, given what is known about maltreatment and attachment, it is likely that RAD has profound consequences for child development. Very little is known about the prevalence and stability of RAD symptoms over time. Until recently it has been difficult to investigate the presence of RAD due to limited measures for informing a diagnosis. However this study utilised a new observational tool Method: A cross sectional study

Abstract:

Reactive attachment disorder (RAD) is characterised by severely underdeveloped or absent attachment between a child and a caregiver. Adopted children who have experienced adverse early experiences prior to adoption may have lacked opportunities to form selective attachment relationships and, in rare cases, may have a diagnosis of reactive attachment disorder. The needs of adoptive families rearing children with special needs, such as children with a RAD diagnosis, are unique and it is crucial to understand the experiences of the families in order to increase the understanding of how to provide

Abstract:

The aims of this cross-sectional case-control study were to explore the social information processing (SIP) patterns of children with reactive attachment disorder (RAD) and their association with behavioural difficulties. The sample consisted of 23 children with RAD aged 4-12 matched by age and gender with a comparison sample of typically developing peers. Children completed an assessment package investigating the encoding, interpretation, response access and response evaluation components of SIP and their intellectual functioning and verbal comprehension, while caregivers completed two instru
