Dr. Arthur Becker-Weidman
tooled leather
attachment center specializing in the treatment of adopted and foster
families with trauma and attachment disorder. Our professionals have
the knowledge, skills, personal experiences, and professional training
to help adoptive and foster families with attachment concerns. The
Center for family Development has focused much of its efforts on
helping adoptive and foster families. The needs of adoptive families
are unique and very few professionals understand these families and
their special problems. The Center for Family Development was founded
by Dr. Arthur Becker-Weidman to provide answers to questions,
solutions to problems, and the expert support necessary for families
to thrive in these turbulent times.
Dr. Arthur Becker-Weidman and his associates are dedicated to helping
adoptive families achieve their potential. All members of the Center
For Family Development are licensed, skilled, and highly trained
professionals with at least twenty years experience helping families.
Arthur Becker-Weidman, CSW-R, PhD. DABPS received his doctorate in
Human Development from the University of Maryland, Institute for Child
Study. He achieved Diplomate status from the American Board of
Psychological Specialties in Child Psychology and Forensic Psychology.
He is a member of the American College of Forensic Examiners. Dr.
Becker-Weidman has received extensive training in Dyadic Developmental
Psychotherapy, an attachment-based therapy, including with Daniel
Hughes, Ph.D., author of Building the Bonds of Attachment and
Facilitating Developmental Attachment.
At the Center For Family Development we only begin working with
families after completing a thorough assessment. We carefully
evaluate the child and the family. Our success rate is now over 95%.
Success means that the child has developed the capacity to love and be
loved and is functioning at least at about 80% of the level you'd
expect for a child that age. See our Research page for the results of
our follow-up study.
Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy, an attachment-based therapy is an
evidence-based treatment for children with Trauma-Attachment
Disorders, Reactive Attachment Disorder, and other disorders of
attachment that are complicated by severe trauma or histories of
maltreatment. Other forms of treatment such as play therapy are
ineffective with children who have disorders of attachment and complex
post-traumatic-stress-disorder because all these therapies require a
trusting relationship between the therapist and child. See our follow-
up study in Child and Adolescent Social Work Journal, a professional
peer-reviewed journal. This demonstrates that Dyadic Developmental
Psychotherapy is an evidence-based effective treatment for children
with Reactive Attachment Disorder. Please see our Informed Consent
document for more information.
Parents of attachment disordered children experience a high level of
stress and need support and understanding in order to help their
children and survive as a family. The Center for Family Development
offers a support group which is intended as an opportunity for parents
to share parenting strategies, learn about approaches that work,
support others, find support, and develop cooperative respite
arrangements. This is not a treatment group or therapy.

If your crap software can't tell it's the same thread,
that is YOUR problem.

You're the dickhead who's x-posting to half a dozen groups via Google.
That makes it YOUR problem.
