Attachment_Disorder_Summary

Attachment Disorder Summary Article Summary The article I’ve chosen to summarize is Attachment Disorder: An Emerging Concern For School Counsellors. The main points of the article will be reviewed in my own words, and then I will give my own point of view of the article’s ideas. Finally, I will discuss the implications the article has on the field of child and youth care practice. The importance of the bonding process (or attachment) is not a new found idea, however the article suggests that it is recently becoming a main concern and consideration for many of the difficulties that children and adults are facing. With parents spending less time at home and more time working, a high rate of divorce, educational cutbacks and reorganization, and daycare issues, the importance of understanding the attachment process is vital. If a child does not develop a secure attachment he may develop mistrust, innate anger, and have little or no conscience. The article goes on to list a number of symptoms, which can include all or some of the following: · Lack of ability to give and receive affection · Superficial friendliness with strangers · Obsession with blood, fire, and gore · Cruelty to others, especially pets · Irregular eye contact · Unusual speech patterns · Obsessive lying · Stealing, hoarding, and gorging · Lack attachment, article, disorder, child, , school, issues, field, education, counsellor, youth, understanding, treatment, time, through, subject, own, others, likely, information, develop, concern, children, care, adult, within, treat, trained, theory, system, suggests, states, specifically, signals, seems, secure, role, relationship, rate, professional, process, people, part, parents, need, main, knowledge, involved, importance, implications, identify
