| Similarly in the world of Attachment disorders In the book:
Understanding attachment and attachment disorders: Theory, evidence and practice by Vivain Prior and Danya Glaser. The authors point out the amount of incoherent, disingenuous and basically fake disagnosis around Attachment disorders making the rounds on the internet. In 2006 there were 4,990.000 items on the famous search engine referring to the diagnosis of attachment disorders. Apparently the abundance of usage of the term "Attachment disorder dignosis" is not matched by the abundance of understanding as to what it actually means. Children with "Attachment disorder diganosis" are described as; Liars, thieves, lacking in conscience, and having various other negative attributes. There seems to be a licence to produce limitless items to characterise this apparent entity: here is a small list: 1. avoids making eye contact, especially parents but look into your eyes when lying.
2. ask persistent nonsense questions and chatters incessantly.
3. Is fascinated with fire, blood, gore, weapons and evil.
4. engages in food related issues, hording, gorging, refusing to eat and eating strange things
5. Displays cruenty to animals.
6. dosplays no conscience, shows complete lack of remorse. clearly none of this is true or suppported by any evidence that I have seen in 25 years as a psychotherapist. |
