So, there is this thing called DBT (dialectic behavioral therapy) that is especially designed to help people with BPD (although it helps with other mental illnesses too.) I wonder why I have never heard of DBT being used on RAD kids??? The kid would have to be old enough to participate in the program and that requires and element of wanting life to suck less which maybe doesn't come till later, but....
DBT is sometimes used with kids with all sorts of conduct-type disorders, including RAD. I've personally used some of its tenets with JSOs and one of the inpatient child psych facilities here has a regular DBT group for kiddos (usually 10+ in age, though)
