EXCERPT:"This series of misstatements is presented to parents in the United States and elsewhere through more than 80 Internet sites that advocate for or offer attachment therapy (AT). AT is also known as holding therapy, rage-reduction therapy, therapeutic holding, coercive restraint therapy and other names. (See About Attachment Therapy.) AT is a physically-intrusive practice that uses pain, emotional abuse, and intimidation with the purpose of changing children's emotions and behavior. Although there are many forms of AT, their common features are physical restraint and threats of abandonment."
