Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD)
Dr. Ömer Uçur offers therapy services for Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) at his office in Nişantaşı, Istanbul. Reactive Attachment Disorder typically develops when children do not experience secure attachment during early childhood. This can lead to difficulties in social relationships and emotional regulation.
At his Istanbul office, Dr. Uçur creates specialized therapy programs for children with RAD. The therapies aim to help children develop emotional bonding skills, enhance their sense of security, and establish healthy social interactions. Through play therapy and interactive activities, Dr. Uçur encourages children to express themselves and share their emotional experiences.
It is crucial for families to play an active role in this process. Dr. Uçur guides parents in understanding their child's attachment style and creating a supportive environment at home. For families in Istanbul seeking professional support for Reactive Attachment Disorder, Dr. Ömer Uçur’s services can help children form secure bonds with their caregivers and develop healthier relationships in their social lives. This allows children to lead a more balanced life both emotionally and socially.
