Reactive Attachment Disorder, RAD Reactive Attachment Disorder Treatment, ODD treatment

Nov. 23, 2009 - PRLog -- Is your child:
Controlling, bossy, manipulative, defiant, sneaky, argumentative, demanding, impulsive, explosive, oppositional, lying, stealing, and underachieving?

Do you feel:
Out of control, helpless, demoralized, guilty, inadequate, and emotionally exhausted?

The Problem
Too often, traditional treatment proves disappointing for badly behaving kids whose misbehaviors are often diagnosed as Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD), Conduct Disorder (CD), Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Bipolar Disorder (BPD), Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), or depression.  Talk therapy often disappoints, and medication doesn't treat the source of the child's anti-social behavior.

The Solution
Using the approach offered by The RAD Consultancy, LLC, parents usually find significant improvement in their child's behavior and attitude within four to six weeks, and complete turnaround within months.  The consultancy achieves this goal by working with one of the parents (usually the mother, natural or adoptive) rather than working with the child.  There is no need for face-to-face meetings.  Instead, mothers are coached over the phone in providing their problem child with unique and easy corrective communications.  Each week, the counselor suggests a simple act or a communication to deliver to the child.
To the RAD Consultancy team's knowledge, there is no other therapy that gets results with the ease, economy, speed, and effectiveness of the Corrective Communication method, pioneered by psychoanalyst Aaron Lederer, the RAD Consultancy's founder and director.

Corrective Communication

Psychoanalyst Aaron Lederer says:

If you want to change a child, just change

the way you communicate with him.

Taming the Wild Child Book LinkThe RAD Consultancy's novel corrective communication was developed by Aaron Lederer during more than 20 years of working with parents of out-of-control children.  Corrective communication quickly and effectively makes these children cooperative and easy to live with.  It is especially effective with children suffering from insufficient early bonding with their mothers (usually diagnosed as reactive attachment disorder [RAD]) or fromfailure to complete their "terrible twos" (usually diagnosed as oppositional defiant disorder [ODD]). Most children with RAD suffer from ODD as well. A mother's story.  It is therefore not surprising that so many of the children treated through the RAD Consultancy have been adopted.


As demand from parents grew, Aaron Lederer founded The RAD Consultancy, LLC, where highly qualified and licensed professionals, thoroughly trained and supervised by him, provide the corrective communication service as well.  The corrective work is delivered to the child by the adoptive or birth mother under the guidance and supervision of the RAD Consultancy's counselor.  The mother becomes, in effect, the child's agent of change, getting the child to become cooperative for no other reason than the simple and normal desire to please her and, by extension, other people in authority.
