This could be a wonderful breakthrough for such disorders that are
most likely biochemically or physiologically caused, like autism.

What it can do for a child with reactive attachment disorder, like my
daughter, who was put in five different foster homes from her birth
until she was 18 MONTHS old and sexually molested during that same
time, may be a different matter altogether, but there's always room
for hope.

The nature/nurture debate continues.
