Introduction to Infant Mental Health and Attachment
Monday, Jan 8, 2024 • 12 pm to 1 pm
Virtual
Abstract
- Infant mental health is defined as “The young child’s capacity to experience, regulate, and express emotions, form close and secure relationships, and explore the environment and learn,” (Zero to Three, 2001). Attachment is a related term which describes a birectional process involving a caregiver nurturing an infant/child, as well as infant/child behavior that elicits parental care. Attachment theory posits that primary caregivers who are available and responsive to a child’s needs allow the child to develop a sense of security. This creates a secure base for the child to then explore the world and a safe haven for the child to return to. Attachment problems increase risk for issues including internalizing and externalizing disorders, whereas secure attachment is a protective factor against emotional and behavioral problems later in life.
Objectives
- Define infant mental health and attachment theory.
- Describe factors that increase risk for attachment problems
- Explain outcomes of attachment problems
- Describe interventions to mitigate/prevent unstable attachment
