Attachments Past and Present: Implications for the Prevention of Child Maltreatment
Byron Egeland, Ph.D. |
Dr. Byron Egeland is perhaps best noted for his leadership in research on child maltreatment. He is the Principal Investigator of the Minnesota Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children, a 26-year study of high-risk children and their families. He is one of the investigators involved in the national evaluation and study of the JOBS and New Chance programs for families on welfare. Dr. Egeland also served as Principal Investigator of Project STEEP, an NIMH-funded prevention program for high-risk parents and their infants. Dr. Egeland's presentation summarizes research findings and theory regarding the early development of the parent-child attachment relationship. The role of the attachment relationship in understanding the etiology and consequences of child maltreatment will be explored. Findings from research in both attachment and child maltreatment will be discussed in terms of their implications for early relationship-based intervention and prevention programs. |
