Abstract

The aim of this paper is to identify a theoretical framework which may provide a meaningful context for developing practical interventions to build upon the concept of resilience. In so doing I shall briefly consider the importance of the concept, what is known about it, and then focus on a specific facet of the problem: intergenerational transmission of maladaptive relationship patterns and resilience to such a threat.

The mother's capacity to mentalize and think of early attachment relationships in mental-state terms accounted for the link between the mother's attachment representations and infant attachment; all those with high levels of mentalization had securely attached infants, while the vast majority of those with low levels of mentalization had insecure infants.
“Fonagy et al. (1994) found that the mother's capacity to mentalize and think of early attachment relationships in mental-state terms accounted for the link between the mother's attachment representations and all those with high levels of mentalization had securely attached infants, while the vast majority of those with low levels of mentalization had insecure infants.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
