title: Reflections on 'an attachment-based treatment of maltreated children and young people'.
abstract: This paper considers the work of a skilled clinician (see this volume) who uses attachment theory but also his own vast body of experience. Many of the ideas will be of considerable help particularly to those working with children in substitute families. Caution is needed, however, as this work often involves the uncovering of unexpected abuse experiences which can provoke intense reactions. Training and supervision would seem essential.
