Query: Disappointing

Although this book is recommended by many as a standard work in the field, I personally found it unreliable and uneven.Fahlberg focuses on attachment to the exclusion of all other special needs and developmental tasks, and recommends techniques (such as "holding therapy") which many experts on attachment have criticized as harmful and even abusive. I found her account of separation issues to be much less sensitive and thoughtful than that of Claudia Jewett ("Helping Children Cope with Separation and Loss"), for example.There is almost no reference to organic mental or physical disabilities, except for outdated references to "schizophrenic children" dating from the 1960s.There is useful advice in it, but it doesn't extend far beyond common sense and is undermined by inaccuracies and omissions.
