“…Attachment is different from other aspects of parenting such as feeding, teaching, playing, and disciplining (Benoit, 2004). However, attachment-based research has been used to identify parenting practices that can impact a child's socioemotional health, such as frightening or frightened parental behavior that may contribute to attachment disorganization (Kindsvatter & Tansey, 2018;Lyons-Ruth, 1996;Ranson & Urichuk, 2008).…”

Introduction Extensive evidence indicates that the quality of parent-child attachment is related to later socio-emotional and physical health outcomes. Yet, despite its clinical relevance, the parent-child attachment concept has been inconsistently applied across the disciplines of nursing, medicine and psychology and is often conflated with parent-child bonding in nursing literature. Objectives To provide readers with a critical analysis of the concept of parent-child attachment. Using a principle-based concept analysis, we clarify how parent-child attachment is understood from a multidisciplinary perspective to advance the use of this concept in nursing practice. Concept Description: Attachment is an affectionate, mutually satisfying relationship between a child and a caregiver that serves the purpose of making the child feel safe, secure, and protected. Discussion In this principle-based concept analysis, each definitional (i.e., epistemological, pragmatic, linguistic, and logical) principle contributes to an understanding of the strengths and limitations of the state of science about this concept. The discussion highlights how applying the concept of parent-child attachment security may offer exciting and promising opportunities for nursing clinical work with families. Conclusion The understanding of the concept of parent-child attachment differs among disciplines of nursing, medicine and psychology and offers exciting and promising opportunities for clarity and collaborative, multi-disciplinary work.

“…Depending on the concern, IECMH services can decrease symptoms or increase parental capacity to care for children who may be temperamentally harder than average (Kohlhoff et al, 2020a; Lieberman et al, 2005). IECMH services can also facilitate healthy attachment when attachment concerns may be apparent or probable (Guild et al, 2021; Kindsvatter & Tansey, 2018; Kohlhoff et al, 2020b; Hooper, 2007; Stronach et al, 2013).…”

Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health (IECMH) is a culturally informed, relationally focused area of clinical expertise which addresses the social–emotional needs of very young children and their families. IECMH addresses a critical need and, because of the nuances of the population, requires specific knowledge and skills. Although counselors are often providers of this type of clinical work, very little training exists in counselor education programs, leaving counselors to possibly work outside of scope of competence. This article explores the knowledge and experiences of counselors’ with IECMH. The results of a quantitative survey will be addressed, along with implications and recommendations for counselor education programs and professional counselors to further their knowledge on IECMH.
