Several attachment-based intervention studies have been performed, with varying success. An important question is whether short-term interventions can be successful in promoting parental sensitivity and security of infant-parent attachment as well as in changing parental representations of attachment. We investigated this issue in an exploratory way in a case study. A short-term home-based intervention with written material and video feedback, which was effective regarding parental sensitivity and infant security in a former study, was provided a parent who revealed an insecure attachment representation in the Adult Attachment Interview. The intervention sessions were expanded with discussions about past and present experiences of attachment. After four intervention sessions the mother's behavior towards her child was rated as more sensitive than before the intervention. Also, the infant-mother attachment, as observed in the Strange Situation, appeared to be more secure. Nevertheless, in a second Adult Attachment Interview administered after the intervention, the mother showed again an insecure representation of attachment. Possible implications of these results are discussed.
已经开展了多项基于依恋的干预研究，但成效各异。一个重要问题是，短期干预能否成功促进父母的敏感性以及婴儿与父母依恋关系的安全性，同时改变父母对依恋的认知。我们在一项案例研究中对此问题进行了探索性调查。针对一位在成人依恋访谈中表现出不安全依恋认知的家长，提供了一项基于家庭的短期干预，该干预包含书面材料和视频反馈，在前一项研究中，这种干预在提高父母敏感性和婴儿安全感方面是有效的。干预环节通过讨论过去和现在的依恋经历得以扩展。经过四次干预后，母亲对孩子的行为被评定为比干预前更具敏感性。此外，在陌生情境中观察到的婴儿与母亲的依恋关系似乎也更安全。然而，在干预后进行的第二次成人依恋访谈中，母亲再次表现出不安全的依恋认知。本文讨论了这些结果可能产生的影响。
