Attachment Disorder Site - providing hope and support.

The best resources on the web to find therapeutic help for children and adults with attachment disorder are as follows:

ATTACh, the leading international attachment education and advocacy association, has a registration process for attachment therapy professionals. A major goal of this registry is to help the parents and guardians of children with attachment difficulties learn about qualified treatment professionals.

Those who have completed the registration process have met specific objective requirements as outlined on the clinical membership application, and have agreed to abide by ATTACh's Practice Standards as outlined in their Professional Practice Manual. As an organization representing parents as well as professionals, ATTACh wanted to find way to help families who desperately are seeking therapy for their children. These registered clinical members are offered as a resource for families with the understanding that families will use discretion when selecting a therapist.

Nancy Thomas keeps a list of "parent recommended" therapists. Please see excerpt from her website:

The Attachment therapists listed here by state have been recommended by parents that have had success with their disturbed child. We appreciate these parents taking the time to do this to help others. The therapists recommended here have earned their stars with their skills helping families they are not necessarily listed at the opinion of Nancy Thomas or Families by Design. We recommend you contact and decide for yourselves who the best therapist would be for your child.

Serving the living God.
