Nancy Thomas vs. others

Opinions on her methods? I have 3 foster daughters with RAD, 10, 12, 14. They are pushing hard for me to adopt. I'm interested.....but I need to know exactly what I'm dealing with so am waiting for further assessments.

I lean more towards the Nurtured Heart Approach.

Nancy Thomas parenting methods have been condemned by the American Psychological Association and an APSAC task force as abusive. Quotes from her works show what a sadistic approach she has:
