the most common and empirically supported method for assessing attachment in infants (12 months – 20 months) is the strange situation protocol, developed by mary ainsworth as a result of her careful in-depth observations of infants with their mothers in uganda(see below). the strange situation protocol is a research, not a diagnostic, tool and the resulting attachment classifications are not 'clinical diagnoses.' while the procedure may be used to supplement clinical impressions, the resulting classifications should not be confused with the clinically diagnosed 'reactive attachment disorder (rad).' the clinical concept of rad differs in a number of fundamental ways from the theory and research driven attachment classifications based on the strange situation procedure. the idea that insecure attachments are synonymous with rad is, in fact, not accurate and leads to ambiguity when formally discussing attachment theory as it has evolved in the research literature. this is not to suggest that the concept of rad is without merit, but rather that the clinical and research conceptualizations of insecure attachment and attachment disorder are not synonymous.

effective method









































in logic, mathematics and computer science, especially metalogic and computability theory, an effective method or effective procedure is a procedure for solving a problem from a specific class. an effective method is sometimes also called a mechanical method or procedure.









































section::::definition.









































the definition of an effective method involves more than the method itself. in order for a method to be called effective, it must be considered with respect to a class of problems. because of this, one method may be effective with respect to one class of problems and "not" be effective with respect to a different class.
