A Must to Avoid!,

This review is from: Give them roots, then let them fly: Understanding attachment therapy (Paperback)
It comes as no surprise that this atrocity is self published. As the other reviewer on the US boards notes, the "treatment" described herein is nothing more than abusive restraint and is completely unvalidated. This stinker can take its place along with Welch's steaming crock entitled "Holding Time;" the Tinbergens' equally execrable works and Boeding's atrocity about love disorders.
I actually felt my stomach lurch at the thought of adopted and foster chldren being "retraumatized" and "reparented." The "treatment," such as it was involved enforcing the children to endure being cared for as if they were infants; lying on them; taunting them while restraining them and baiting them as dogs bait bulls. This sick treatment has been given several different names, but it is still the same crock of steaming bull manure. I defy anyone to explain how on earth taunting; humiliation; isolation and threatening to abandon any child is "reparenting." That hollers abuse, plain and simple. Why in the blue hell would ANYONE consider such emotional atrocities "parenting?" Sadly, pets have more recourse - if anyone was caught mistreating a pet this way, they'd pay a fine at best, serve time at worst. Why is treating children this way being condoned? And how does this author claim this ignominious, cruel and abusive treatment helps? Abandonment is a trenchant issue and very real fear for many children, especially those who have been adopted or are foster children. Threatening them with abandonment is just plain cruel and sick, sorry. The American Psychological Association does not condone these sick methods. In the February 2006 isssue of the APA Journal entitled "Child Maltreatment" exposes these atrocities for what they really are. Sick and brutal yes, and as another reviewer noted on the US boards, one of those involved in this sick book is serving 16 years for the death of a child during these sick sessions involving the methods outlined within.
