Attachment in High Risk Populations — Implications for Practice in the Schools

The Adult Attachment Projective Picture System: Integrating Attachment Into Clinical Assessment

“…Other Work Using the AAP AAP validity and interrater reliability with English and with non-English-speaking participants have been demonstrated by independent investigators (e.g., Béliveau & Moss, 2005;Buchheim et al, 2006;Webster & Hackett, 2007;Webster & Knoteck, 2007). The AAP has been used in basic research and hypothesis testing, establishing predictive validity in studying mothers' adult attachment status in relation to caregiving and their children's adjustment and developmental risk, mothers of children diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, the attachment underpinning related to immigration, and the developmental correlates of unresolved attachment in adolescent maltreatment (Aikins et al, 2009;Béliveau & Kissgen et al, 2009;Van Ecke, 2005Webster & Hackett, 2007;Webster, Hackett, & Joubert, 2009;Webster & Knoteck, 2007).…”

Clinical studies have used the AAP to examine posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms following trauma, depression, and emotional development in psychiatric patients, and as part of a parent evaluation battery in custody evaluation (Benoit et al, 2010;Buchheim & George, 2011;Buchheim, George, Liebl, Moser, & Benecke, 2007;Isaacs, George, & Marvin, 2009;Subic-Wrana, Beetz, Langenbach, Paulussen, & Beutel, 2007;West & George, 2002).…”

Timely Intervention – Before It’s Too Hard

“…She identified nine elements of connectedness some of which, namely academic engagement, belonging, peer relations, teacher support and student voice are discussed within this chapter as key aspects in pro-active learning environment and essential for effective intervention. Webster and Knotek (2007) also consider that the attachment or connectedness perspective is important for all students.…”

“…(Anderson, et al, 2004;Buhs, et al, 2006;Davis & Dupper, 2004;Decker, et al, 2007;Mawhinney & Sagan, 2007;Webster & Knotek, 2007;Willms, 2003). Teachers are constantly interacting with students and the outcomes of these interactions are related to teacher quality, their attitudes and values and their underpinning theories of teaching and learning (Biggs & Telfer, 1987;Caldwell & Spinks, 2008;Davis & Dupper, 2004;Huitt & Hummel, 2003;Martin, et al, 1999;McNally, et al, 2005; C. R. Rogers, 1983;Slavin, 1997;Wells, 2003).…”
