Commentary on Buckner and Implications for Treatment Selection Among Foster Children With RAD

University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center, mark-chaffin{at}ouhsc.edu

This commentary discusses possible implications of Buckner's (2008) case study, which successfully applied behavioral parent training for a child in out-of-home care who was diagnosed with reactive attachment disorder (RAD). The report is discussed within the context of recommendations offered by the 2006 APSAC Task Force on Attachment Therapy, Reactive Attachment Disorder, and Attachment Problems. The discussion also address the question of how well brief evidence-based parenting models might be accepted by parents or clinicians who have presumed that traditional therapies do not work for children diagnosed with RAD or that radical and concerning treatments are required.
