About ReAttach

 

What Is ReAttach?

ReAttach is a therapeutic intervention that has been conceived, developed and pioneered by Drs Paula Weerkamp over the past 10 years.  
Drs Weerkamp pioneered a tailor-made method that helps people overcome the developmental arrest in autism, a method which equally applies to the whole array of transdiagnostic symptom-networks across neuropsychiatric presentations, and can therefore be adjusted to treat most emotional, psychological, developmental, behavioural of even physical difficulties in some cases.

 

 

How Does ReAttach Work?

ReAttach Therapy basically consists of three main therapeutic components, which can be adjusted to a multitude of transdiagnostic clinical presentations. In brief these are:

 

What Does The Evidence Say?

Practice Based Evidence was measured with different instruments for adults (Young Schema Questionnaire YSQ3), children (Children Behavior Checklist) and individuals with ASD (Autism Treatment Evaluation Checklist). First research papers were published at Clinical Neuropsychiatryand presented at International Conferences in the field of Mental Health, Brain Injury and Autism. Paper I: "ReAttach a new schema therapy for adults?" was rewarded with the Clinical Neuropsychiatry Award

Recently the E-book: Autism: is there a place for ReAttach Therapy? was published with contributions of Prof. Michael Fitzgerald, Prof. Donatella Marazziti, Prof. Vladimir Trajkovski, Dr. Soren Petter, Dr. Ashutosh Srivastava and Prof. Alexander Poletaev. Effects of ReAttach on core symptomatology of presentations of autism, ADHD, neurorehabilitation, personality problems, anxiety, depression, behavioural challenges, obsessive compulsions, corporate stress are presented.

Presenting autism as a pre-conceptual state of mind ReAttach offers individuals with ASD many opportunities: The personal growth of the individuals with ASD and participants with other neuropsychiatric conditions is a great encouragement. It sheds a new light on the resilience and power that has been waiting inside these individuals to enfold.
