Breaking the Intergenerational Cycle of Insecure Attachment: A Review of the Effects of Attachment‐Based Interventions on Maternal Sensitivity and Infant Security
Abstract
Abstract— In this paper the effectiveness of preventive or therapeutic interventions aiming at enhancing parental sensitivity and children's attachment security is addressed, Sixteen pertinent studies have been reviewed, and 12 studies have been included in a quantitative meta‐analysis ( N = 869). Results show that interventions are more effective in changing parental insensitivity ( d =. 58) than in changing children's attachment insecurity ( d =. 17). Longer, more intensive, and therapeutic interventions appear to be less effective than short‐term preventive interventions. Interventions which are effective at the behavioral level may not necessarily lead to changes in insecure mental representations of the parents involved. The implications of changes at the behavioral level (sensitivity; attachment) without accompanying changes at the representational level will be discussed.

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.
