As a licensed clinical psychologist who specializes in working with families (I'm also a licensed marriage and family therapist), I am always looking for resources for parents to read on their child's condition and, thus far, haven't been very successful on finding material on RAD. I also always make it a practice to never recommend a book that I have not first read for myself. This book is the closest that I've come to a RAD parenting guide, but with a lot of the pros that are found in its pages comes a lot of cons. I recommend Thomas' book to RAD parents with a lot of caution, and here's what I've noticed while reading this book.
The pros: the book is small, user friendly, is written in everyday language, presents an excellent primer and overview of the conceptualization and treatment challenges of RAD (from an object relations perspective) and is chocked full of specific parenting ideas for all types of behavioral problems. Clearly, it is evident that Nancy Thomas has been doing this for years and I have no doubt that she is successful in her efforts. If this were all that this book had in it, I'd give it a 4-5 star rating. However, the cons in the book bring the rating down significantly.
With respect to the cons; first, some of her advice is impractical, especially if you are a single parent and have limited time and income (i.e. paying for regular respite care and her suggestion that "[therapeutic parenting] dedicates a minimum of six months to a year full time commitment to caring for the child (p. 24)." How many parent(s) can do either of these options realistically?
An second con is that many parents, including myself, do not agree with many of her core philosophies.
