Reflective Functioning in Infant Mental Health Clinical Samples: Features of Risk and Resilience

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.

This course is designed to provide advanced clinicians* who have a strong understanding of attachment and IMH-HV with:

  • A deep understanding of the clinical features of risk and resilience in caregiving relationships
  • Indicators of reflective functioning in clinical interviews with parents
