The Brain-Trauma-Attachment Relationship in Our Boys

Quote from chapter abstract: 
"We have also learned from the neurodevelopmental research that traumatic experiences, especially for those children with disrupted attachment relationships, can create significant difficulties in the boys' capacity to effectively interact with their environment. These boys experience problems in self-regulation, difficulties in accurately reading social cues, learning problems (notably in language processing and development), and difficulties in flexible and adaptive problem solving (Stien & Kendall, 2004)."

Attachment is a verb: Experiential treatment for addressing self-regulation and relationship issues in boys with sexual behavior difficulties.
