Attachment disorder refers to a broad spectrum of psychological disorders in children in which the child has trouble bonding or relating to their parents or to others. It is not necessarily a pseudoscience in itself, but is a controversial topic within psychology and a significant subset of attachment disorder theories and attachment therapy methods are rank woo. One of the more notorious quack treatments pushed by woo-meisters for attachment disorder is rebirthing, a potentially deadly treatment which attempts to simulate birth by smothering the affected child.
