“This is the second edition of a critically and professionally acclaimed book for social workers, therapists, and parents who strive to assist poorly attached children. This work is a narrative, composite case study of the developmental course of one child following years of abuse and neglect. Demonstrating both the specialized psychotherapy and parenting that are often necessary in facilitating a child’s psychological development and attachment security, this updated study blends attachment theory, research, and trauma theory with general principles of parenting and family therapy to develop a solid model for intervention. This book provides a practical guide for all adults–whether professionals or parents–who endeavor to help high-risk youth.”
