Child maltreatment may be best characterized as a pathogenic relational experience which primarily occurs in the mother-child relationship. As such, enhancing the mother-child relationship is the key process that should be targeted in intervention approaches for child maltreatment. Two salient and modifiable components of the mother-child relationship are highlighted: maternal sensitivity and attachment organization. It is argued, from a developmental psychopathology perspective, why focusing on these issues hold the most promise for interrupting negative developmental cascades and promoting resilience among maltreated children. Utilization of a tiered approach to delivering increasingly intensive relational interventions is recommended as are future directions for translational research and dissemination.
儿童虐待或许可被最佳地描述为一种主要发生在母婴关系中的致病性人际关系体验。因此，加强母婴关系是儿童虐待干预方法应针对的关键过程。本文强调了母婴关系中两个显著且可改变的组成部分：母亲的敏感性和依恋组织。从发展性精神病理学的角度出发，本文论证了为何关注这些问题最有希望打断负面的发展级联反应并促进受虐儿童的恢复力。本文建议采用分层方法来提供强度不断增加的关系干预，并提出了转化研究与传播的未来方向。
