The Connected Child: Bring Hope and Healing to Your Adopted Child
By: Dr. Karyn Purvis, Dr. David Cross, Wendy Lyons Sunshine

Truly groundbreaking work on helping youngsters overcome behavioral problems, learning difficulties and mental illness resulting from early trauma and deprivation. The Connected Child is the first book to share Drs Purvis and Cross' highly nurturing yet disciplined techniques so that parents can use them at home with their own children. This book is absolutely essential to foster and adoptive parents, care givers, and educators.

The Connected Child takes a multi-dimensional approach based on the latest research, covering a spectrum of strategies, including attachment exercises, behavorial retraining, nurturing touch, sensory integration and nutritional therapy, to help parents and care givers to help heal the child's invisible wounds.
