Abstract
This child custody consultation, conducted in a rural Texas community, addressed the immediate placement needs of a 5-year-old female, Jamie. The child had been in foster care for 1 year, and her biological mother was seeking reinstatement of full custody. During supervised visitation sessions, Jamie displayed behaviors that are associated with a disorganized attachment style and/or seizure activity, while the mother exhibited behaviors indicative of an insecure attachment style and the inability to be emotionally available to her child. The Adult Attachment Inventory was administered to the mother as a measure of attachment while Jamie was tested for neurotransmitter activity at baseline and immediately after visitation. The results of these objective measures are presented and the implications for their use in child custody cases are discussed.
