NPOV Template
The Controversy NPOV template meets the 2nd and 3rd criteria for removal: "It is not clear what the neutrality issue is, and no satisfactory explanation has been given;" and "In the absence of any discussion, or if the discussion has become dormant." In fact,the Talk page for this article has no discussion of the NPOV issue at all. I propose removing it. Mapping Data (talk) 01:19, 23 April 2018 (UTC)

Outdated and factually inaccurate
I find this article to contain information that is no longer accurate regarding the treatment for attachment disorders in children. Most of the examples of ‘abusive’ therapy/treatment are from the 90s and early 00s, and things have changed since them. Mental health professionals no longer recommend any of therapies described in the article for kids who were adopted or came from the foster care system due to liabilities to cause injury to a child. 2600:1702:3800:3C10:65A8:56F2:FC6F:56EC (talk) 15:15, 11 May 2022 (UTC)

Overall thoroughness and diagnostic criteria
I think with the recent updates to this article, its pretty thorough and explains many topics on attachment therapy. It talks about the history of attachment therapy, and how that has changed with modern resources. I think the diagnostic criteria paragraph could have been stronger. It is important to note that attachment therapy is a more alternative therapy, and the physical aspect of it is more outdated and rarely used. This physical aspect of attachment therapy is not necessary and can be approached in a different way. We can still teach children how to feel safe, trusting, and comfortable with others in a more mainstream setting. MalloryJoy (talk) 17:23, 24 September 2023 (UTC) Mallory Ball
