Understanding Attachment and
Attachment Disorders
Theory, Evidence and Practice
Vivien Prior and Danya Glaser
Paperback, ISBN: 9781843102458, 288pp, 2006, £19.99, $34.95
BIC: JCD MBPK JBS
Part of the Child and Adolescent Mental Health series
This book offers a thorough examination and discussion of the
evidence on attachment, its influence on development, and
attachment disorders.
In Part One, the authors outline attachment theory, the
influence of sensitive and insensitive caregiving and the
applicability of attachment theory across cultures. Part Two
presents the various instruments used to assess attachment and
caregiving. Part Three outlines the influence of attachment
security on the child's functioning. Part Four examines the
poorly understood phenomenon of attachment disorder. Presenting
the evidence of scientific research, the authors reveal how
attachment disorders may be properly conceptualised. Referring
to some of the wilder claims made about attachment disorder,
they argue for a disciplined, scientific approach that is
grounded in both attachment theory and the evidence base. The
final part is an overview of evidence-based interventions
designed to help individuals form secure attachments.
Summarising the existing knowledge base in accessible language,
this is a comprehensive reference book for professionals
including social workers, psychologists, psychiatrists,
teachers, lawyers and researchers. Foster and adoptive parents,
indeed all parents, and students will also find it of interest.

Title: International and
internet child sexual abuse and exploitation: research report.
Summary: This report presents findings from a research project
funded by The Nuffield Foundation to further knowledge of
international and internet child sexual abuse (CSA) and
contribute to the development of policy and practice. This
research focused on cases known to law enforcement agencies and
methodology included: postal questionnaires distributed to local
police services and HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC); interviews
with policy officers and HMRC staff; and searches of police
files and crime recording and reporting systems. The findings
examined the extent of cases of international and internet child
sexual abuse which had a link to the UK and were known to law
enforcement agencies, the nature of these cases (including
victim and offender characteristics) and the implications for
policy and practice.

Title: Why me: children talking to ChildLine about
bullying.
Summary: This book looks at how children perceive bullying
and their views on how it should be tackled through an analysis
of both the call made to ChildLine's special bullying line,
which was operational from March-October 1994, and a survey of
children, teacher and parent attitudes in four schools. The
results show that bullying happens inside and outside school,
violent bullying is on the increase, and that children, although
feeling more able to report bullying, find that speaking up does
not always stop the bullying. Highlights that children want to
be involved in tackling bullying.

Title: Attributions and coping in sexually abused
adolescents referred for group treatment.
Summary: This article presents findings from a study which
examined the predictive value of self-attributions and coping
behaviours on 103 sexually abused adolescent girls functioning.
Self-report measures were used to assess participants
psychological functioning in relation to the following nine
measures: anxiety, depression, PTSD, sexual concerns,
dissociation, anger, self-injury, anti-social behaviour and drug
use. Results found that self-attributions and coping behaviours
explained between 22%to 39% of additional unique variance for
seven out of these nine measures, with anti-social behaviour and
drug use being the only measures not affected. Concludes that
personal attributions of blame for negative events were the
strongest predictors of adolescents' functioning.

Title: Was message of sudden infant death study
misleading?
Summary: This analysis and commentary raises concerns
about the results of a study into sudden infant death. The
study, 'Repeat sudden unexpected and unexplained infant deaths:
natural or unnatural?' by Carpenter et al published in the
Lancet in 2005, suggested that almost 90% of second sudden
infant deaths in the same family are natural. This article
highlights concerns over how the study classified these deaths,
particularly the classification of deaths due to an
indeterminate cause as natural.

Title: Emergency powers for child protection.
Summary: Examines the use of emergency intervention for

social workers resorted to emergency powers in well-known,
serious cases when parents refused to cooperate; and, that
emergency protection orders are followed by care proceedings.
