This review is from: Conscienceless Acts, Societal Mayhem: Uncontrollable, Unreachable Youth and Today's Desensitized World (Hardcover)

This is a very readable book for parents and clinicians. Clearly outlines what attachment disorder is and describes holding therapy. Cline speaks eloquently of the societal issues that combine to result in children who are seriously disturbed. Challenges treament providers to evaluate current methodology that is often ineffective with these children. Provides information about treatment that is effective with many seriously disturbed children. First printed in 1995, it is timely reading given our nation's current epidemic of violent, conscienceless children and adults.
