Outdated Medical Information
Many of the facts presented in this article are grossly outdated. Most sources cited are close to 2 decades old. Much progress has been made with these children in this time. For example, Attachment Therapy is no longer considered the mainstream way to treat RAD children. And the article mentions moving RAD children as treatment. This would NEVER happen now as it is widely known that it can make the condition worse.
Often talk therapy for the child and parenting coaching to adjust parenting skills to appropriately address RAD behaviors without exacerbating them is employed. This article from the well regarded Cleveland Clinic outlines more modern approaches to treating RAD children: https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/17904-reactive-attachment-disorderI don't have time to update this page, but it is medically out of date and often times insulting to the children who suffer from this condition and their caregivers and health care providers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2806:104E:B:4873:2DE5:13C5:E4C7:C21C (talk) 15:42, 19 February 2021 (UTC)
I am reviewing this very old FA as part of WP:URFA/2020, an effort to determine whether old featured articles still meet the featured article criteria. This article is badly outdated, has uncited text, and has too many long quotes. The main editor hasn't edited for years, and it is unlikely someone else will bring the article back to standard, so I am listing at WP:FARGIVEN. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 02:18, 14 November 2023 (UTC)
