Summary: A Life Preserver in the Ocean called RAD
Comment: When we adopted our two youngest children, we thought our training had prepared us for just about anything that might surface. We had not considered Reactive Attachment Disorder. Nancy Thomas' booklet is a must read for any parent who hopes to bring a child back from the desolation of Attachment Disorder. Her methods have restored peace and sanity to our household. Her contagious "attitude" for loving the children most people find unlovable has empowered us to reclaim our family. If you are dealing with RAD, you MUST have this book.

Summary: A Must Have
Comment: This book is an excellent resource for anyone dealing with Reactive Attachment Disorders. As a psychologist, parent and foster parent, I found this book to be the most practical and helpful resource available. The author has an obvious wealth of experience and direct knowledge which seperates this book from the many "theroretical" books available. She has walked the walk as well as talking the talk, and her love of children is obvious as you read her book. This is a life saving book for children with emotional problems and their parents. If you have to have just one book on the subject of parenting RAD kids - this is the one. If you want a good overview of RAD and what it really means - this book is for you; and if you are struggling with how to parent a child with emotional problems and are looking for help - this book is for you. I heartily recommend this book for parent and professional alike.

Summary: This is a cult
Comment: Nancy Thomas has no credentials. Her "expertise" in the area of attachment is entirely the result of shameless self promotion. Her "techniques" are not based on science or psychology. She has a "cult" following, but no long term studies to determine whether her form of discipline is actually helpful or harmful. In many cases, she is the justification for child abuse by parents who prefer to blame the child rather than examine the problems.
Where is the psychological study supporting her views? Where are her educational credentials? Her basis for making psychological judgments?
Attachment is a hot button issue right now, and Nancy Thomas has taken advantage of this trend to make herself a self described "expert" in the field. Before you sign on to this cult, take a careful look at what the research in the field says, and consider the profit motive in the "training" offered.
