attachment disorders

["Larry D. Ridgway" <Ridgwaylccm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, fellow child health enthusiasts:

I am just linking up with this list and have found the topic on attachment
most interesting.  I am a graduate student in counseling/psychology and
just beginning to seriously give thought to my final document.  My area of
interest is the biochemical effects of childhood trauma on a child's
personality development.  This is rather broad and have been considering
doing research in the area of attachment and day-care.  

With so many primary caregivers having to go to work today, many infants
and toddlers on spending much of their time in a multi-child care facility
where there is limited one-on-one interaction.  Does anyone on this list
have any suggestions on where to find possible information on research
being done on the effects of this type of child-rearing on attachment
and/or ultimate personality development, particularly research on possible
links to brain chemistry influence which may lead to personality disorders.

I would appreciate any help or suggestions anyone can give me.
