Therapeutic Resources
Registered
Members
ATTACh,
the leading international attachment education and advocacy association,
has a registration process for attachment therapy professionals.
A major goal of this registry is to help the parents and guardians
of children with attachment difficulties learn about qualified
treatment professionals.
Those who have completed the registration process have met specific
objective requirements as outlined on the clinical membership
application, and have agreed to abide by ATTACh's Practice Standards
as outlined in our Professional Practice Manual. As an organization
representing parents as well as professionals, ATTACh we wanted
to find way to help families who desperately are seeking therapy
for their children. These registered clinical members are offered
as a resource for families with the understanding that families
will use discretion when selecting a therapist. ATTACh offers
assistance to families and professionals; ATTACh does not endorse
specific treatment approaches, organizations or professionals.
It is the responsibility of the reader to assess the validity
of the information offered and its applicability to his/her personal
needs.
ATTACh's professional member registry includes information on
the therapist's treatment practices and process, including treatment evaluations,
outcomes and follow-up, a copy of the member's license or certification,
proof of professional insurance and disclosure of any disciplinary
action. In addition, registered members are asked to sign an agreement
to abide by ATTACh's Professional Practice Manual, safety principals
and basic assumptions about attachment therapies. All professional
members of ATTACh are eligible to apply for registration.
