The link is in Russian about the imprisonment of Norman Scarth who is actually 85. He has a complex history including a court hearing which found that he used a chainsaw to fight off bailiffs when he was 75. [a court judgment which is disputed see comments] However, that does not justify imprisoning him for 6 months for recording a court hearing (see the link and ask google to translate it if your Russian is not up to it).
It has got into the Argyll News
Because he has been held such that people cannot get to him to sign paperwork an application for a writ of Habeas Corpus was made today. This has been adjourned until next week.
The English judicial system is really not good at responding to major abuses of human rights by the judicial system.

Attachment disorder- treatment/ therapy?
Reply Contact
In my placement in children's services, almost every young person I see seems to have a diagnosis of attachment disorder, but it seems few get any sort of help for this, other than possibly a few appointments with CAMHS. Many seem to be placed in residential homes, due to it being recognised they cannot cope with family life following frequent foster placement breakdowns. So it follows that, many, or most, of these children are growing into adults with attachment disorders.
What I'm wondering therefore, as I can't find any information or research about this, is if there are any forms of therapy or treatment that are recognised to be successful with these children/ adults?
I've seen research papers that suggest that attachment problems in childhood are often predisposing factors to the development of borderline personality disorder or other mental health problems- but although attachment disorder seems to be a common 'label' for children, I have never really heard it applied to adults before.
Can anyone help, or point me to any useful articles/ books/ other resources that might provide me some answers?
