Findings from research on the effects of maltreatment \non infant attachment were incorporated into the design and evaluation of \nthe intervention. One-year-old infants from maltreating families \n(\n                    <jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic>\n                    = 137) and their mothers were randomly assigned to one of \nthree intervention conditions: (a) infant\u2013parent psychotherapy \n(IPP), (b) psychoeducational parenting intervention (PPI), and (c) \ncommunity standard (CS) controls. A fourth group of infants from \nnonmaltreating families (\n                    <jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic>\n                    = 52) and their mothers served as an \nadditional low-income normative comparison (NC) group. At baseline, \nmothers in the maltreatment group, relative to the nonmaltreatment group \nmothers, reported greater abuse and neglect in their own childhoods, more \ninsecure relationships with their own mothers, more maladaptive parenting \nattitudes, more parenting stress, and lower family support, and they were \nobserved to evince lower maternal sensitivity. Infants in the maltreatment \ngroups had significantly higher rates of disorganized attachment than \ninfants in the NC group. At postintervention follow-up at age 26 months, \nchildren in the IPP and PPI groups demonstrated substantial increases in \nsecure attachment, whereas increases in secure attachment were not found \nfor the CS and NC groups. Moreover, disorganized attachment continued to \npredominate in the CS group. These results were maintained when intent to \ntreat analyses were conducted. The findings are discussed in terms of the \nutility of translating basic research into the design and evaluation of \nclinical trials, as well as the importance of preventive interventions for \naltering attachment organization and promoting an adaptive developmental \ncourse for infants in maltreating families.\n                    <jats:fn>\n                      <jats:p>This research was supported by grants from the Administration \nof Children, Youth, and Families, the National Institute of Mental Health \n(MH54643), and the Spunk Fund, Inc.<\/jats:p>\n                    <\/jats:fn>\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0954579406060329","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,4,21]],"date-time":"2008-04-21T07:15:01Z","timestamp":1208762101000},"page":"623-649","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":422,"title":["Fostering secure attachment in infants in maltreating families \nthrough preventive interventions"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"18","author":[{"given":"DANTE","family":"CICCHETTI","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of \nMinnesota; and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"FRED A.","family":"ROGOSCH","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of \nRochester"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"SHEREE L.","family":"TOTH","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of \nRochester"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2006,8,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"S0954579406060329_ref048","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Hofer, M.
