Building a clinically relevant picture of attachment from case study observations in a parent-infant play group

Article Abstract:

Researchers studied the interactions of four parent-child pairs in a play group setting. They aimed to demonstrate that the setting and method provides an appropriate vehicle for the clinical assessment of carer-child relationships, for use by practitioners involved in early intervention work. The case studies clearly demonstrate the patterns of interaction between the parents and children during play, and conform to earlier findings on the importance of the the attachment relationship. Observation in the play group setting could have an important role in multi-disciplinary intervention.
