Yeah I believe from what I have learned that it is very difficult, not nearly impossible. I would like to think it is possible in every case given the proper therapies. Early intervention is best, maybe play therapy followed by talk therapy and CBT or EMDR. Then there is neurofeedback and, of course, medication. In adulthood, I find that group therapy is highly effective.
It is also rare to find parents that recognized there was a problem and actions need to be taken to try to undo some of the damage. In an ideal world, parents and their children would be in therapy-group, family, and individual.
The end of this article briefly touches on the importance of a child's emotional development.
I know this is just commonly accepted theory but I thought it was interesting.
