Reactive Attachment Disorder
📋Overview
Reactive Attachment Disorder is a trauma- and stressor-related condition that typically manifests in early childhood as a result of severe neglect or disruptions in caregiving. It is characterized by a consistent pattern of inhibited and emotionally withdrawn behavior toward adult caregivers.
This condition occurs when a child's basic emotional needs for comfort, stimulation, and affection are not met, preventing the formation of stable attachments. Clinical observations focus on the child's inability to seek or respond to comfort when distressed, reflecting developmentally inappropriate social relatedness.
