Five Books to Read

For Professionals and For Parents:
ICF wants to be a referral source for you! Children with trauma and attachment issues are difficult and require a lot of energy. The intensity of treatment, as well as the complexity of these disorders, demand that we call on other parents and professional resources when needed. We encourage you to do the same.

For example, ICF is unable to address issues of Sensory Integration without the expertise of those professionals trained in this therapy. Therefore, we may refer clients outside ICF. If you are uncertain or stuck with how to approach your child's or client's trauma, anxiety and attachment issues, please call on us at 610-431-9508. We are here to help. ICF also offers services to schools and we also have a parent coaching program.

Here are some specific books ICF recommends you read to educate and familiarize yourselves with trauma and attachment disorders:

  • Becoming a Family by Dr. Lark Eshleman
  • Building the Bonds of Attachment by Daniel Hughes
  • Parenting the Hurt Child by Greg Keck and Regina Kupecky
  • Holding Time by Martha Welch, MD
  • Healing the Hardware of the Soul by Daniel Amen
Suggested Readings

Check here often as we continually add new material that we feel is important in learning about how to help children affected by trauma.
