Holding Therapy
Holding therapy is a technique that is sometimes used in the treatment of Attachment Disorders. The goal of holding therapy is to help the child develop inner control of emotions and to encourage ego development and trust. Holding therapy is never used as punishment. Is it effective? The judges are still out on the effectiveness of this treatment and recent publicity on Holding Therapy being improperly done resulting in the death of a child will probably keep the treatment in a bad light for awhile. As a therapist who has used holding therapy, I have found it to be extremely useful in the treatment of attachment disorders.
