Give Them Roots, Then Let Them Fly:
Understanding Attachment Therapy

What the Experts Say:
Children with attachment disorder are children who: feel intense inner
rage and hatred; children who cannot feel nor give reciprocal love and
affection; children who have suffered severe abuse and neglect during their
early, formative years. At The Attachment Center at Evergreen, Inc., in
Evergreen, Colorado, a dedicated team of professionals and therapeutic
families work to help families with these children (usually adoptive or
foster) work through the early abuse and emerge on the other side into
a healthy, loving lifestyle. This book is about this work, these children,
and the special families who love them and desperatedly want them to come
home, whole.
