The most popular form of therapy for children with attachment disorders is 'holding therapy'. 'Holding therapy' describes a form of intervention that consists of close physical contact with one or more therapists. The child is held across the lap of one or two therapists, whilst touch and eye contact between child and therapists are encouraged strongly through the session. Although 'holding' is supposed to provide the child with the care and security that she missed during her developmental years, and although it is also thought to be the way to break through to the child, and perhaps contain the child's distress or frustration, considerable controversy surrounds the practice. There has been no empirical evidence that this therapy works; it is seen as intrusive, insensitive and therefore counter-therapeutic. In the U.S.A. alone, six reported deaths have been traced to this system either due to therapists...
However, not much is known about how to advise parents to deal with their foster or adopted children's ongoing reluctance to associate with them. Several interventions have also been developed for these children who have been rejected by their peers, but the same problem seems to exist: there is no accepted treatment for children with attachment disorder patterns, and much of their conduct and the reason for its perseverance remains an enigma.

One work specifically isolates a type of treatment that is helpful for ODD or milder CD: In this book our focus is on supportive-expressive play psychotherapy for a particular kind of patient: the school-aged child who meets the criteria for oppositional defiant disorders and mild or moderately severe conduct disorders (DSM-III-R). There are, however, important qualifications. First, the child must demonstrate some capacity for genuine guilt, remorse, or shame about

Implementation of element contained in risk management procedures in any hospital setting should be effected in order to ensure for the safety of

This may be characterized as "an anxiety disorder that can develop after exposure to a terrifying event or ordeal in which grave physical harm occurred or was threatened. Traumatic events that may trigger PTSD include violent personal assaults, natural or human-caused disasters, accidents, or military combat." (NIMH, 1) in the particular case of this discussion,
Relationships provide the key experience that connects children's personal and social worlds. It is within the dynamic interplay between these two worlds that minds form and personalities grow, behavior evolves and social competence begins." (1999) Howe relates that it is being acknowledged increasingly that "...psychologically, the individual cannot be understood independently of his or her social and cultural context. The infant dos not enter the world as a priori
Though also quite controversial due to the environmental degradation that is created by any industrial interest in the natural world, pharmaceutical researchers are increasingly turning to plants and other naturally created compounds for the development of new pharmaceuticals (Newman & Cragg 2007). As research continues into this relatively new and unexamined area of pharmaceutical potential, it is likely that many profound new discoveries will be made. One particular piece of
