A short introduction to what attachment means and how to recognise attachment disorder in children
Colby Pearce is Principal Clinical Psychologist at Secure Start®, a private psychology practice based in Adelaide that provides psychology services to children, teens and families. He has extensive experience in the teaching and training of psychologists and other professionals, particularly in relation to insecure and attachment disordered children and the promotion of therapeutic care environments. He is also the author of A Short Introduction to Promoting Resilience in Children.
Although short, this revised edition remains for me a core text in
supporting teachers' understanding of attachment, its importance
and what happens when it goes wrong. Pearce makes this complex
field highly accessible without losing any rigour; this book will
be one of the most enlightening reads of your career.

Colby Pearce provides answers. In a straightforward way, he defines
and describes normal and disordered attachment. The first edition
and my participation in Triple A training have added to my
confidence and competence as a carer. This is a ' must read ' book
for anyone involved with children. I am pleased to recommend
it.
*Margaret Quinn, Foster Carer*
Practical, credible and evidenced based, this is a must read for
all those working directly with troubled, challenging and unhappy
children inside and outside the care system. Pearce explains the
aetiology of different attachment disorders and provides workable
strategies to support children consistently across their care,
educational and therapeutic environments.
