Information about Treatment Methods We Use:
The Theraplay® Institute
http://www.theraplay.org/
The Theraplay® Institute is an international not-for-profit organization with headquarters in the Chicago area. Each year we train hundreds of mental health professionals around the world in the Theraplay method. We set and maintain standards for Theraplay treatment, and through ownership of the service mark "Theraplay®", insure that children being treated by a Theraplay therapist are receiving only high-quality care incorporating genuine Theraplay techniques.
EMDR
http://www.emdr.com/
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a comprehensive, integrative psychotherapy approach. It contains elements of many effective psychotherapies in structured protocols that are designed to maximize treatment effects. These include psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral, interpersonal, experiential, and body-centered therapies.
EMDR is an information processing therapy and uses an eight phase approach to address the experiential contributors of a wide range of pathologies. It attends to the past experiences that have set the groundwork for pathology, the current situations that trigger dysfunctional emotions, beliefs and sensations, and the positive experience needed to enhance future adaptive behaviors and mental health.
During treatment various procedures and protocols are used to address the entire clinical picture. One of the procedural elements is "dual stimulation" using either bilateral eye movements, tones or taps. During the reprocessing phases the client attends momentarily to past memories, present triggers, or anticipated future experiences while simultaneously focusing on a set of external stimulus. During that time, clients generally experience the emergence of insight, changes in memories, or new associations. The clinician assists the client to focus on appropriate material before initiation of each subsequent set.

EMDR International Association (EMDRIA) is a professional association where practitioners and researchers seek the highest standards for the clinical use of EMDR. By promoting training, research and the sharing of the latest clinical information, EMDRIA is committed to assuring that therapists are knowledgeable and skilled in the methodology of EMDR which is an accepted psychotherapy by leading mental health organizations throughout the world.
Child Trauma Academy and Dr. Bruce Perry
http://www.childtrauma.org/
The ChildTrauma Academy, a not-for-profit organization based in Houston, Texas is a unique collaborative of individuals and organizations working to improve the lives of high-risk children through direct service, research and education.
Nancy Thomas and Attachment Parenting
http://www.nancythomasparenting.com/
We offer information on adoption / attachment and bonding issues, and Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) to families and professionals. We are also the official home of Families by Design providing educational materials and seminars.
The goal of this site is to provide help for each wounded child with attachment disorder, PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder), ODD (Oppositional Defiant Disorder) and hope for each awesome parent and team member. Awesome parents are the ones who search everywhere, including the web, looking for answers to help their child. The parenting techniques I teach have been honed on some of the most challenging children in the United States. Parents and professionals must adjust these tools to suit each child's and each family's needs.
Special needs children do not succeed when parented as a "normal child"; they need special help. When parents, teachers, therapists, and respite providers join together we can have a powerful team to help heal a hurting child. I hope you will find the answers you seek here in our humble offering of pages. I believe every child can learn to be respectful, responsible and fun to be with. And every home filled with love and laughter.
The Love and Logic Institute
Love and Logic is a philosophy of raising and teaching children which allows adults to be happier, empowered, and more skilled in the interactions with children. Love allows children to grow through their mistakes. Logic allows children to live with the consequences of their choices. Love and Logic is a way of working with children that puts parents and teachers back in control, teaches children to be responsible, and prepares young people to live in the real world, with its many choices and consequences.
Love and Logic offers adults an alternative way to communicate with children. The Love and Logic techniques produce immediate results because the techniques are simple, practical, and easy to learn. The concepts behind Love and Logic place a heavy emphasis on respect and dignity for children and at the same time allows parents to grasp simple approaches instead of learning difficult counseling procedures. Puts the FUN back in parenting.
Dr. Dan Hughes/Dyadic Developmental Therapy
Founder of a treament method for attachment disordered children called Dyadic Developmental Therapy which focuses on empowering parents to assist in the treatment of their children through the 'attitude' of playfulness, love, acceptance, curiosity and empathy. The primary context in which such dyadic interchanges occur is one of real and felt safety. Without such actual and perceived safety, the child's neurological, emotional, cognitive, and behavioral functioning is compromised.
