5.0 out of 5 stars A must-read for foster parents!, 14 May 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Building the Bonds of Attachment: Awakening Love in Deeply Troubled Children (Hardcover)
Dan Hughes wrote this book with me in mind. I read this book while fostering a 9 yr old girl who had attachment disorder that, without proper treatment, would have destroyed her ability to function in a normal life. There were ideas and strategies in this book that worked (no matter how strange they sound). Dan Hughes knows what he is talking about. As a professional foster parent, I appreciate the straightforward language used in this book. I would recommend this to any person dealing with an attachment disorder child. It brings a much needed awarness to this overwhelming issue in surrogate parenting.

5.0 out of 5 stars Applying the theory of trauma, 13 Sep 2007
By Edith Reyntiens "The book worm" (Dumfries, Scotland UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Building the Bonds of Attachment: Awakening Love in Deeply Troubled Children (Paperback)
As a foster carer, this book has been critical in enabling me to understand the children I care for even though they are teenagers.

It documents in detail how one foster carer who works closely with Daniel Hughes, manages a difficult and traumatised child. This presents the concepts of trauma in the process of caring, and present practical methods without being didactic, that can be applied intelligently in other situations. The more theoretical analysis of the care that accompanies each chapter allowed me to use to the best possible extent, the information that I gleaned from the book.

I eventually understood the implications for traumatised children as they become adolescent and traumatised; because very few teenagers who come into care have resolved their early childhood trauma.

Dan Hughes' explanations also helped me a lot in understanding the timescales involved in this kind of therapy, which can be longer than you ever imagine. A must for anyone who is working with children.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good insight into the mind of a troubled child, 15 Aug 2008
By Mr. S. J. Morawiec "stefanmorawiec" (Dorset) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
This review is from: Building the Bonds of Attachment: Awakening Love in Deeply Troubled Children (Paperback)
My wife and I have both read this book, she rates it very highly and were she writing this review would rtate it 5, I feel that whilst in parts it is very good, in other areas it makes suppositions and at times is based pon anecdoatal supposition rather than fact. Alowing for my negative comments, the recent publication comes with revised comments and does help somewhat to address some of the problems associated with looked after children.

The case history is quite harrowing at times, but anyone who has worked with or looked after a neglected or abused child will be able to empathise with the challenges faced in this book.
