In On It: What Adoptive Parents Would Like You To Know About Adoption. A Guide for Relatives and Friends by Elisabeth O'Toole
This Means War by Cheryl Ellicot
Taming the tiger while it is still a kitten by Nancy Thomas -- I found this book to be a complimentary (to the Deborah Gray's book) list of attachment signs to look for and practical ideas for attachment. It is more of a booklet. I do not know anything about her particular theory's as this book does not address that. I understand that parts of it may be controversial, but I like the lists and the things to do are very practical and are confirmed in many other books by other authors. Her book, When Love is Not Enough is an excellent book for parents with kids who are having more serious issues attaching.
