Reactive Attachment Disorder is diagnosed in children with a disturbed development of attachment. What happens to these children when they become adults? This group is the bleeding edge of RADical thinking for those who never learned how to trust properly.
Search "What is Reactive Attachment Disorder?" and you will find links that focus on the child, with very little mention that adults would have this condition. It has been established that the majority of patients being treated for RAD are adoptees. Imagine just how many adults in the United States have been adopted, and abused, and have the symptoms documented as RAD behaviors.
