The art and science of transplanting children

 

The deep, long-lasting relationship between a parent and child is important for a child's social and emotional growth - but what happens when this relationship is disrupted?

Dr. Gordon Neufeld is a Vancouver-based developmental psychologist with 40 years of experience with transplanted children, youth, and their parents. As a leader in child development, Dr. Neufeld is also the bestselling author of Hold On To Your Kids and is a leading interpreter of the developmental paradigm.

While best known for his breakthrough insights on attachment and aggression, Dr. Neufeld has created a coherent and powerful working model of development that is highly effective for parents and professionals alike. A seminal theorist and an inspiring teacher, he has also earned widespread respect for making sense of complex problems and for opening doors for change.
