Daniel A. HughesThe 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 composite case study of the developmental course of one child following years of abuse and neglect. It work focuses on the specialized psychotherapy and parenting that are both often necessary in facilitating a child's psychological development and attachment security. It blends attachment theory and research, trauma theory, and general principles of parenting with child and family therapy to develop a model for intervention. This work is a practical guide for the adult - whether professional or parent - who endeavors to help such children.
Told as a story about one abused girl, her case worker, therapist and foster parents, this book explores the difficulties in helping a child damaged by abuse and neglect, and shows us what does help.

case." Covers young, adult, male and female
