MOTHER-INFANT INTERACTION DISTURBANCES AND THE ORIGINS OF INSECURE ATTACHMENT
Presenter: Beatrice Beebe, Ph.D.
This lecture presents videotapes and frame-by-frame analyses illustrating research on 4-month patterns of mother-infant interaction which predict 12-month infant secure vs. insecure-disorganized attachment outcomes. Remarkable 4-month mother-infant dysregulations of attention, affect, spatial orientation and touch will be shown.
Educational Objectives:
Participants will become familiar with different patterns of 4-month interaction associated with secure vs. insecure infant attachment, with implications for early intervention. Participants will be able to see the subtlety, rapidity and complexity of these early interactions.
