Negative Positive
Title: Abusive Parenting Method
Review: The American Professional Society on the Abuse of Children convened a task force on Attachment Therapy/Parenting because of the numerous high profile criminal child abuse and death cases associated with these practices. The task force found (in the journal *Child Maltreatment* Feb 2006) that the parenting method that Nancy Thomas promotes is "inappropriate for all children" and recommended child welfare workers investigate where it is used as "suspect abuse." (Thomas is mentioned by name in this report.) The American Psychological Association adopted the APSAC task force's recommendations and findings.This is clearly a professional condemnation of Attachment Therapy/Parenting, for which Thomas as been a "leading blight."
Is the review positive or negative?
