Description

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Attachment therapy is the most commonly used term for a controversial category of alternative child mental health interventions intended to treat attachment disorders. The term generally includes accompanying parenting techniques. Other names or particular techniques include “the Evergreen model,” “holding time,” “rage-reduction,” “compression therapy,” “rebirthing,” “corrective attachment therapy” and Coercive Restraint Therapy. It is found primarily but not exclusively in the United States and much of it is centered in about a dozen clinics in Evergreen, Colorado where Foster Cline, one of the founders, established his clinic in the 1970s. This article describes this particular set of interventions although in clinical literature the term “attachment therapy” is sometimes used loosely to mean any intervention based, or claiming to be based, on attachment theory, particularly outside the USA.
