Daniel A. Hughes, Ph. D., a
premiere leader in understanding the effects of abuse and
neglect on childhood development, will be presenting his ideas
on how to strengthen parent/child connections, especially with
children who have been abused or neglected. Dr. Hughes will
explore ways to tap into a parent’s own inner wisdom, allowing
them to translate a child’s needs into attachment opportunities.
This Parent’s Insight Night is April 3, 2004 from 6 – 9 p.m. at
St. Michael the Archangel Orthodox Church, 26355 W. Chicago Rd.,
Redford, MI 48239. Admission is $15/person, registration
required to guarantee a seat.
The Attachment COALITION of Michigan, a consortium of
psychologists and social workers interested in the healing of
abused and neglected children as they integrate into new
families through adoption, has brought Dr. Hughes to Michigan
for intensive advanced training. While here in Michigan the
COALITION decided it would be a great opportunity to introduce
Dr. Hughes’ wisdom to the parents of our community to further
the understanding of “Creating a Special Place” for the hurt
children in our lives. Dr. Hughes is the author of two books,
Facilitating Developmental Attachment: The Road to Emotional
Recovery and Behavioral Change in Foster and Adopted Children,
and Building the Bonds of Attachment: Awakening Love in Deeply
Troubled Children. He is currently working on his third. To

More exciting news for families with hurt children… The
COALITION and Dr. Hughes are planning a meeting with Harry T.
Chugani, M.D. They will explore the opportunity of working
together to study the effects of psychotherapeutic interventions
on abused and neglected children here in the Detroit Metro area.
You may have heard of Dr. Chugani of Children’s Hospital in
Detroit. He is the Director of the PET Center, Chief of
Pediatric Neurology and Developmental Pediatrics. He has been
featured on many programs over the years, such as, Turning
Point, Dateline and 60 Minutes, presenting his research on the
effects of abuse and neglect on institutionalized children. You
