"A rich, wise, and compassionate book on parenting attachment-traumatized children. The authors’ devotion, vast experience, and wisdom provide a rare depth of insight into the puzzling inner world of traumatized children, along with specific guidance for skillful and nurturing parenting. Drawing on key techniques from EMDR therapy, this state-of-the-art approach brings much-needed help to the parents, caregivers, and children so in need of practical care." — Charlotte Sophia Kasl, PhD, author of Women, Sex, and Addiction and If the Buddha Had Kids: Raising Children to Create a More Peaceful World

"Integrative Parenting offers essential, up-to-date, and practical information for parents and extended family members of children who have experienced attachment loss and trauma. The authors explain the brain science of attachment trauma in clear and accessible language and provide pragmatic behavioral calming and skills building activities with sample parent-child conversations, which foster and adoptive parents will find invaluable. For families whose children are receiving care based on the authors’ professional treatment manual, Integrative Team Treatment for Attachment Trauma in Children, this wonderful parent guide provides an orientation to their team approach to EMDR therapy and a roadmap for helping children build new, secure family connections." — Andrew M. Leeds, PhD, Director of Training, Sonoma Psychotherapy Training Institute
