#reactive attatchment disorder

[its-ticsticstics]

I’d love to see some evidence on how childhood diagnoses like Conduct Disorder, Oppositional Defiance Disorder, Intermittent Explosive Disorder, and Reactive Attatchment Disorder are even slightly trauma-informed. Like all of these are characteristic of trauma and c-ptsd, and it feels like instead of looking to home environments, people just want further pathologize the childhood experiences of traumatized children and give them ‘Bad Uncontrollable Child Disorder’ but ... idk thats just me 

#ppl love do dx children w these as an excuse to not treat underlying problems #and basically abusive them for acting in a way that the drs and parents percieve as unacceptable #eveN THO there might be a root cause to the behaviour #just seems skeTCH to me man

do you know what other things could cause something similar to the fp attachment symptom in bpd?

so its kind of the other way around. disorders dont cause the attatchment problem, the attatchment problem is what catagorizes the disorder, if that makes sense?

because the thing that causes attatchment disorders is childhood abuse. according to attatchment theory, unhealthy patterns of attatchment are formed during early childhood development when a child is not able to form a stable and healthy attachment to their caregiver, often due to abuse and/or neglect. these are called "disordered attachments" or even "attatchment disorder"

there are multiple types of disordered attachment styles, the one seen in bpd and is categorized by the unstable idealization and devaluation pattern is called a "disorganized attatchment"

since these are the result of childhood abuse they are often symptoms of corresponding abuse related disorders like cluster b PD's, cptsd, odd, reactive attachment disorder, ect.

they can also just exist on their own or alongside more common things like depression and anxiety

but looking into attatchment theory and disordered attatchments should help give u good place to start
