Transcript text: Two expressions of reactive attachment disorder are a. inhibited and expressive type. b. expressive and unexpressive type. c. inhibited and uninhibited type. d. none of these.
Solution
The answer is C: inhibited and uninhibited type.
Explanation for each option:
a. Inhibited and expressive type: This option is incorrect because "expressive type" is not a recognized term in the context of reactive attachment disorder (RAD).
b. Expressive and unexpressive type: This option is incorrect because neither "expressive type" nor "unexpressive type" are recognized terms in the context of RAD.
c. Inhibited and uninhibited type: This option is correct. Reactive attachment disorder (RAD) is typically categorized into two types: inhibited and uninhibited. The inhibited type is characterized by a child being extremely withdrawn, emotionally detached, and resistant to comforting. The uninhibited type is characterized by a child displaying indiscriminate sociability and a lack of selectivity in attachment figures.
d. None of these: This option is incorrect because the correct answer is provided in option C.
Reactive attachment disorder is a serious condition in which a child fails to establish healthy attachments with parents or caregivers, often due to severe early neglect or abuse. Understanding the types of RAD is crucial for appropriate diagnosis and treatment.
