    Study Notes

    • Trauma- and stressor-related disorders are characterized by exposure to a traumatic or stressful event, causing anhedonia, dysphoria, externalized anger, aggression, and dissociation.
    • Social neglect during childhood is a crucial factor in both reactive attachment disorder and disinhibited social engagement disorder.
    • Exaggerated grief beyond normal grieving processes can lead to prolonged grief disorder.

    Reactive Attachment Disorder

    • Children with reactive attachment disorder exhibit a pattern of inhibited, emotionally withdrawn behavior towards caregivers.
    • They rarely seek comfort when distressed and show minimal response to comfort.
    • The disorder is characterized by social and emotional disturbances, including minimal responsiveness to others, limited positive affect, and episodes of unexplained irritability, sadness, or fearfulness during non-threatening interactions.
    • The disorder stems from a pattern of insufficient caregiving during childhood, such as social neglect, frequent caregiver changes, or limitations in opportunities to form attachments in unusual settings.
    • Reactive attachment disorder should not be diagnosed in children who can't form selective attachments.
    • Diagnosis requires caution in children over 5 years old.
    • Reactive attachment disorder often co-occurs with developmental delays, especially in cognitive and language skills.
    • Children may show stereotypical behavior and signs of neglect, like malnutrition.

    Disinhibited Social Engagement Disorder

    • Children with disinhibited social engagement disorder actively approach and interact with unfamiliar adults.
    • They exhibit reduced or absent reticence towards unfamiliar adults.
    • Their behavior with unfamiliar adults may be overly familiar verbally or physically.
    • Children with this disorder show diminished or absent checking back with caregivers after venturing away from them, even in unfamiliar settings.
    • The disorder stems from a history of insufficient caregiving, leading to a lack of selective attachments in childhood.
    • The disorder often co-occurs with developmental delays, especially in cognitive and language skills.
