“…In addition, some studies have revealed higher benefits for children from families with lower psychosocial resources, such as was found in the Nurse–Family Partnership program (Kitzman et al., ; Olds et al., ). For German‐speaking countries, which have their own specific cultural environments, early intervention structures, and policies (Benz & Sidor, ), the meta‐analysis of Taubner, Wolter, and Rabung () has revealed that especially the Ulm model showed significant effects on maternal sensitivity (Bovenschen et al., ; Pillhofer et al., ; Ziegenhain, Derksen, & Dreisörner, ). On the other hand, no effects on language development were found (Taubner et al., ).…”

Regarding the PAT program investigated in this article, a recent systematic review on its effectiveness with at‐risk families has found no evidence for significant positive effects on different measures of parent—child interaction (Neuhauser, ).…”

Home-visiting programs have gained increasing importance in family-centered prevention and intervention. However, few studies have examined the mechanisms underlying early intervention treatment effects. The goal of this study is to analyze the mediating role of maternal sensitivity in enhancing language development with the home-visiting program Parents as Teachers (PAT). Data were collected and analyzed within the ongoing, long-term ZEPPELIN study, a randomized controlled trial with 251 participating at-risk families. Via longitudinal mediation analysis, we examined whether effects of the PAT on receptive and expressive language outcomes at 24 and 36 months were mediated by maternal sensitivity at 12 months. Within a moderated mediation framework, we investigated whether the level of family psychosocial stress affects this mediation. Results showed that intervention effects on language outcomes are mediated by maternal sensitivity-weakly and through specific pathways. Moderation and moderated mediation analyses indicated that effects of the PAT and also specific mediation effects increase with the level of psychosocial stress. Implications of the results for practice are discussed.

“…In Germany, they mostly focus on the mother-infantrelationship [114], when a focus on postpartum depression and anxiety would be equally relevant. Recent meta-analyses show that programs starting during pregnancy were evaluated as the best when they had a high frequency of home visits [119,120]. There are findings of advantages of close and personal relating to one another, which comes close to a therapeutic setting.…”

Behavioral medicine has neglected social aspects for a long time. In the pre-and postnatal context, these are especially important, as parental competencies in the relational objects of the infant may be compromised by both inner and outer factors, thus potentially compromising the infant's psychic development. The findings on pre-and postnatal stages of human development have shown that early psychosocial interventions can help out to some extent. Approaches for parents, which have mainly evolved from the findings of psychoanalysis and mother-infant research, must be augmented by a social perspective, just like postnatal concepts have been augmented by prenatal intervention approaches. The latter reach from how parents-to-be can be prepared for parenthood to how to support attachment and relation in infants, toddlers, and older children. Scientific behavioral reasoning, augmented by subjectivity-and objectivity-related concepts, provides a framework to work with, so that potential deprivation can be faced seriously. Intervention approaches focusing on bonding, on relational issues, and on educational practices are introduced, covering the most important time spans of psychic development from the mother-unborn period to the mother-infant period.

“…Internationale Übersichtsstudien (Metaanalysen) früher Hilfen (vor der Geburt bis zum dritten Lebensjahr der Kinder einsetzend) wiesen Verbesserungen der elterlichen Erziehungskompetenzen und der kindlichen Entwicklung nach, insbesondere bei gezielten Maßnahmen für Risikogruppen. Bei den wenigen evaluierten deutschen frühen Präventions-programmen ist das bisher kaum der Fall (Taubner et al 2012). Deutschland ist hier noch Entwicklungsland.…”
