Most children with Reactive Attachment Disorder have had severe problems or disruptions in their early relationships. Children who exhibit signs of Reactive Attachment Disorder need a comprehensive psychiatric assessment and individualized treatment plan. Treatment of this complex disorder involves both the child and the family. Without treatment, this condition can affect permanently a child's social and emotional development. Reactive Attachment Disorder is a serious clinical condition. Evaluating and treating children with complex child psychiatric disorders such as Reactive Attachment Disorder is challenging. There are no simple solutions or magic answers. However, close and ongoing collaboration between the child's family and the treatment team will increase the likelihood of a successful outcome.
