Hughes Overthepast50years,attachmenttheoryhasevolvedintoaprimary,ifnot the primary, model of child development throughout the world. Over the past 20 years attachment theory has become an organising principle for development throughout adulthood. Research based on, or heavily influenced by, attachment theory has demonstrated its impact on neuropsychological, emotional, cognitive, and social development throughoutthelifespan.Thelegacyof JohnBowlbyandMaryAinsworth hasbecomebothinternationalandmultidisciplinaryinscope.Itcontinuesto generate insights and questions about our human condition that are very clear as well as being profound. It has only been more recently that practitioners in mental health and social work, education and health, have begun to make serious efforts to understand attachment theory and research and apply these findings to many of the real life problems of our time. Nowhere is the need to make theseapplicationsgreaterthanintheareasofchildmaltreatment,fostercare, andadoption.Themajorityofyoungchildrenwhohavebeenmaltreatedby their parents manifest attachment disorganisation, a classification con- sideredtobeadefiniteriskfactorforthedevelopmentofpsychopathology. A much smaller group is diagnosed with reactive attachment disorder, a disorder thought to arise from severe physical and emotional neglect and multiple caregivers. In both groups the developing child is left with significantdeficitsinhisorherabilityand/orreadinesstotrustandrelyon hisorhernewcaregivers.Asaresult,thischildisoftenneitherabletoresolve thedevastatingeffectsoftrauma,norabletoutilisetheopportunitytohave 7 8 / TRAUMA,ATTACHMENTANDFAMILYPERMANENCE the attachment security that would facilitate his or her continuing development. Caroline Archer and core members of the Family Futures Consortium havewrittenamarvellousworkthatattemptstodemonstratehowtheyhave taken insights from attachment theory and research and spread them liberally over their very comprehensive and integrated programmes.
