Title: Regrettable Misunderstandings about Attachment
Review: This new edition of Keck and Kupecky's book appears to repeat the many errors of the first one. Readers who compare this book's view of Reactive Attachment Disorder with that in DSM-IV-Tr will see that the list of problems discussed by Keck and Kupecky has almost nothing to do with the actual nature of RAD. A comparison of Keck and Kupecky's discussion of attachment with any of the many scholarly publications on this subject, such as those by Mary Ainsworth, Inge Bretherton, or Everett Waters, shows dramatic differences; whatever Keck and Kupecky are talking about, it is not what scholars and researchers mean by attachment.Readers should approach this book with serious caution, and check statements against other, more conventional sources before accepting them.
