“…Parents who have suffered ATM may have problems maintaining parent-child boundaries, and tend to be excessively permissive, harsh, or abusive towards their children (e.g., Banyard, 1997;DiLillo & Damashek, 2003). Consequently, parental history of ATM is also a risk factor in their offspring's development in humans (e.g., Cicchetti & Toth, 2006) and other primates (Harlow & Zimmerman, 1959).…”

Maternal intellectual disability (ID) is regarded a risk factor in child development, but there is no scientific evidence on maternal ID in relation to children's attachment. Using a matched comparison design, a small group (n = 23) of mothers diagnosed with ID was studied to help fill this gap. Besides maternal ID, we examined the role of abuse/trauma/maltreatment (ATM) in the mothers' biographies, along with potential confounds. Comparison group mothers (n = 25) had normal variations in intelligence and matched mothers with ID on residential area, income, child age, and sex. History of maternal ATM was assessed using a semi-structured interview and was found to be significantly more likely in the ID group mothers' experience than the comparison group mothers. Children's (M age = 77 months) attachment representations were assessed with the Separation Anxiety Test. Among children of mothers with ID, a substantial minority (35%) had a secure and the vast majority (>80%) an organized attachment representation. Mothers with ID who had suffered elevated ATM were significantly more likely to have children who were scored high on disorganization and insecurity. We discuss possible implications of our findings for societal considerations regarding parenting and child attachment in the context of parental ID status.

“…In other words, the explanatory paradigm should specify which developmental parameters or skills are implicated in the unfolding of depression and how dysfunction in that regard paves the way to depression. Second, a developmentally informed intervention should accommodate the fact that young patients will be at different stages of development of the targeted skills when they enter treatment, e.g.,8 which will have ramifications for what the therapist can do. Further, even at a specific developmental stage or age (for example, all 7-year-olds), young patients will not be at the same skill levels and also will differ in background and contextual variables that may affect treatment.…”

“…Die moderne Säuglingsforschung und vor allem die Mitte der 1970er-Jahre gestarteten Längsschnittstichproben zur Identifikation von Faktoren, die das Auftreten, die Intensität und die Dauer von Störungen fördern, haben die Bedeutung der ersten Lebensjahre herausgestrichen. Die in den 1980er-Jahren entstandene Disziplin der Entwicklungspsychopathologie hat darüber hinaus unser Verständnis von Entwicklung verändert und transaktionale Austauschprozesse zwischen beeinträchtigten und normal entwickelten Bereichen betont [1,2]. In der Folge konnten nicht nur Schutzsysteme, die bei vergleichbaren Risikokonstellationen für unterschiedliche Ergebnisse sorgten, sondern darüber hinaus die Mechanismen und Prozesse, die vom Risiko zur Störung führen, identifiziert werden.…”

“…Sie bietet für die Grundlagenforschung und die Praxis mehrere Vorteile, unter anderem eine wirkungsorientierte Steuerung von Praxisressourcen und die Überprüfung theoretischer Grundannahmen. Darü-ber hinaus erhöht sich die Sicherheit bei der Interpretation der Ergebnisse von Interventionsstudien, wenn sie auf validen Theorien basieren und die Ergebnisse mit deren Prognosen im Einklang sind [1,14]. STEEP ist ein bindungstheoretisch fundiertes Interventionsprogramm, das von B. Egeland und M.F.…”

Preliminary results of the attachment-based STEEP(TM) (Steps toward effective and enjoyable parenting) research practice project "WiEge" are presented. Within a multisite, longitudinal intervention study, young high-risk mothers enrolled in the 2-year STEEP(TM) program have developed significantly more secure attachment relationships with their 1-year old children compared to mothers of the control group, who received the standard support as usual in the German welfare system. Age of mothers at birth of their children, educational level, single motherhood status, and mental health diagnoses indicate that both groups are comparable. A global measure of risk status indicates that mothers of the STEEP(TM) group confront even more risks than control group mothers. Additional data on depression (Edinburgh postnatal depression scale, EPDS), parenting stress (PSI), or risky parental attitudes (Adult-Adolescent Parenting Interview®, AAPI) are being presented and discussed with regard to the differences found being an effect of the STEEP(TM) program. Since the focus of the STEEP(TM) program is on empirically validated mechanisms in attachment development, it is also important that the results are in line with attachment theory. At the same time, we did not find significant group differences with regard to attachment disorganization. Supporting mothers in being more sensitive and to improve on reflective functioning--as being done in STEEP(TM)--does not seem to be sufficient to prevent attachment disorganization, as others studies have also shown. Although based on small sample sizes, the results are informative for improving intervention strategies, which need to focus more on the developmental process underlying attachment disorganization, i.e., unusual parental behavior.
