It sounds similar to the rebirthing therapy that was so controversial. Law and Order SVU even did an episode on that one.

It’s definitely in the same vein. SVU (or possibly OG?) did an episode that was more closely referencing this, iirc with a family that adopted a lot of special needs kids.

But yeah, it’s basically a handbook for abuse.

that was actually the first thing i thought of when i saw that previous comment. it also has its own Wikipedia article, complete with a thorough description of how much it's pseudoscientific bullshit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attachment_therapy (warning again for disturbing)

this one doesn't seem to have anything to do with Christian fundamentalists, but the people who thought this was a good idea are still monsters
