Editorial Review:
Beyond Consequences, Logic, and Control covers in detail the effects of trauma on the body-mind and how trauma alters childrens behavioral responses. The first four chapters help parents and professionals clearly understand the neurological research behind the basic model given in this book, deemed, The Stress Model. While scientifically based in research, it is written in an easy to understand and easy to grasp format for anyone working with or parenting children with severe behaviors. The next seven chapters are individually devoted to seven behaviors typically seen with attachment-challenged children. These include lying, stealing, hoarding and gorging, aggression, defiance, lack of eye contact, and yes, even a chapter that talks candidly about how parents appear hostile and angry when they work to simply maintain their families from reaching complete states of chaos. Each of these chapters talks in depth on these specific behaviors and gives vivid and contrasting examples of how this love-based approach works to foster healing and works to develop relationships, as opposed to the fear-based traditional attachment parenting approaches that are being advocated in todays attachment field. The authors end with a Parenting Bonus Section. True testimonials from parents who have been able to make significant changes in their homes with this model of parenting, giving real-life examples of how they have been able to find the healing, peace, and love that they had been seeking prior to working through the techniques outlined in this book.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - "Dr." Post
Since I purchased and read this book, I have found out that Bryan Post's credentials are suspect. His PhD is from a college (Columbus University School of Public Administration) that is basically a diploma "mill" where anyone can get a "PhD" for a price. He has been reprimanded by the Oklahoma State Board of Licensing and forced to use a disclaimer in all his advertising. (All these facts can be found by searching online) In my opinion while Bryan Post has some very good ideas and is a dynamic public ... Read More
Rating:  - Excellent and practical
This book is very well written. The author is very well-versed on the therapy he advocates for children with Reactive Attachment Disorder. Our daughter's Attachment Therapist agrees with his methods and found them very easy to apply, especially with younger children. Consequences that work with the average child, do not work with children with Reactive Attachment Disorder. The author clearly acknowledges this and gives insight into alternatives.
Rating:  - Excellent ideas
I work with emotionally disturbed youth and read the Beyond Consequences book after hearing a trauma speaker refer to it at a recent professional development training. The authors did a great job at explaining the difficult behaviors of traumatized kids. They presented many insightful ideas which have helped me understand and improve my students' behavior.
Rating:  - Not Enough Practical Information
Sounds great in theory but not enough practical information. I find Katharine Leslie much more helpful.
Rating: - A Different Approach
This book is a must for anyone adopting or fostering children. It gives whole new insight into their lives and how to cope with, and help them cope with, the difficult and traumatic issues that make them behave the way they do. Seeing the world through the eyes of these children and the pain they have suffered helps us depersonalize the behaviors and view them with more tolerance and love.
