Course Description:
infant and early childhood mental health clinicians often work with parents who have been placed at risk for insensitive or harsh parenting due to their exposure to violence and/or trauma in early caregiving relationships. Parental representations of caregiving are associated with parenting quality and children's attachment. As such, assessing the clinical features of risk and resilience in caregiving representations, including affect regulation and distorted attributions, informs clinical intervention strategies that ameliorate risk and enhance parenting sensitivity.
