parents, and a core set of 51 randomized controlled trials with 6,282 mothers and children), Bakermans - Kranenburg, van IJzendoorn & Juffer8 demonstrated that the most effective
attachment - based interventions to improve
parent sensitivity (d = 0.33, p <.001) and promote secure infant - caregiver
attachment (d = 0.20, p <.001) included the following characteristics: (1) a clear and exclusive focus
on behavioural training for
parent sensitivity rather than a focus
on sensitivity plus support, or a focus
on sensitivity plus support plus internal representations (e.g. individual therapy); (2) the use of video feedback; (3) fewer than five sessions (fewer than five sessions were as effective as five to 16 sessions, and 16 sessions or more were least effective); (4) a
later start, i.e. after the infant is six months or older (rather than during pregnancy or before age six months); and (5) conducted by non-professionals.
