Course Description:
This course reviews the current status of reactive attachment disorder and disinhibited social engagement disorder with regard to assessment and treatment. Attachment is a central component of social and emotional development in early childhood, and disordered attachment is defined by specific patterns of abnormal social behavior in the context of “insufficient care” or social neglect. Assessment requires direct observation of the child in the context of his or her relationships with primary caregivers. Treatment requires establishing an attachment relationship for the child when none exists and ameliorating disturbed social relatedness with non-caregivers when evident.

Learning Objectives:
• Analyze the clinical presentation, comorbidity, differential diagnosis, course, epidemiology, etiology and risk factors for reactive attachment disorder and disinhibited social engagement disorder
• Critique recommendations for best assessment and treatment practices for reactive attachment disorder and disinhibited social engagement disorder
