Attachment
Disorders Videos
"Attachment disorder is a broad
term intended to describe disorders
of mood,
behavior,
and social relationships
arising from a failure to form normal attachments
to primary care giving figures
in early childhood,
resulting in problematic social expectations and
behaviors. Such a failure would result from unusual
early experiences of neglect,
abuse,
abrupt separation from caregivers after about six months
but before about three years, frequent change of
caregivers or excessive numbers of caregivers, or lack
of caregiver responsiveness to child communicative
efforts. A problematic history of social relationships
occurring after about age three may be distressing to a
child, but does not result in attachment disorder."
