After Adoption: Helping everyone affected by adoption
“A Guide to Attachment: and how it can affect people’s lives”
written by John Timpson
About the Book
A guide to Attachment takes the reader through what healthy attachment mean and the effect attachment difficulties can have.
John Timpson and his family are both foster carers and adoptive parents so he has first hand experience of what attachment means and the consequences early trauma can have on a child.
Fully illustrated throughout, the book uses everyday language and pictures so that it is easy to follow and understand. It aims at educating children, parents, teachers and the general public about attachment so that people can understand what the signs of attachment difficulty are and learn how to create healthy attachments.
“The more people who know about attachment the greater the chance of providing the right help.”
“As foster carers and adoptive parents my wife Alex and I have cared for over 90 children, but it was many years before we had an understanding of the significance of attachment. We wish we had known 30 years ago what we know now.”
