Editorial Launch

Aug 10, 2010

I am pleased to announce the launch of this editorial feature on our website. What pleases me most, however, is to have such a wonderful group of people who have studied with me through the years be willing to share this responsibility with me. Together, we hope to give those many individuals who have been asking for "more" some windows into this attachment-based developmental approach to making sense of children. Our plans are for weekly postings, each designed to give some peek into the paradigm or its many-faceted implications. The offerings will be diverse: reflections, opinion pieces, responses to questions or letters, comments on issues in the news, relevant research with commentary, book reviews, and more.

We hope these postings will be of service to the many parents, teachers, and helping professionals who wish to make sense of the children in their care and who yearn for their charges to become all they were meant to be.

Aggression problems are deeply rooted in instinct and emotion and are therefore resistant to conventional discipline practices. Dr. Neufeld uncovers these roots and outlines steps to addressing them.
