Studies
In a study by Zeanah, (Zeanah et al., 2004) on reactive attachment disorder in maltreated toddlers, the criteria for DSM-IV disinhibited RAD (i.e. disinhibited attachment disorder) were:
- not having a discriminated, preferred attachment figure,
- not checking back after venturing away from the caregiver,
- lack of reticence with unfamiliar adults,
- a willingness to go off with relative strangers.
For comparison, the criteria for DSM-IV inhibited RAD were:
- absence of a discriminated, preferred adult,
- lack of comfort seeking for distress,
- failure to respond to comfort when offered,
- lack of social and emotional reciprocity, and
- emotion regulation difficulties.
The authors found that these two disorders were not completely independent; a few children may exhibit symptoms of both types of the disorder.

Famous quotes containing the word studies:
“Possibly the Creator did not make the world chiefly for the purpose of providing studies for gifted novelists; but if he had done so, we can scarcely imagine that He could have offered anything much better in the way of material ...”
—Elizabeth Stuart Phelps (1844–1911)
“The conduct of a man, who studies philosophy in this careless manner, is more truly sceptical than that of any one, who feeling in himself an inclination to it, is yet so over-whelm’d with doubts and scruples, as totally to reject it. A true sceptic will be diffident of his philosophical doubts, as well as of his philosophical conviction; and will never refuse any innocent satisfaction, which offers itself, upon account of either of them.”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
“[B]y going to the College [William and Mary] I shall get a more universal Acquaintance, which may hereafter be serviceable to me; and I suppose I can pursue my Studies in the Greek and Latin as well there as here, and likewise learn something of the Mathematics.”
