“…As the field of psychotherapy has moved towards manualized, evidence-based treatments, a number of systematically designed and implemented home-visiting programs have emerged for the prevention of child abuse and neglect, and this variability in treatment focus continues to be present (see Bilukha et al, 2005, Howard & Brooks-Gunn, 2009 for reviews). In this article, we focus on a selection of home-visiting interventions with a primary and consistent relational focus and theoretical orientation for preventing and addressing the sequelae of child maltreatment, including CPP (Lieberman & Van Horn, 2004), Attachment and Biobehavioral Catch-Up (ABC; Dozier, 2003; Dozier, Peloso, Lewis, Laurenceau, & Levin, 2008), Promoting First Relationships (PFR; Kelly, Zuckerman, Sandoval & Buehlman, 2008), a brief attachment based intervention (Moss, Dubois-Comtois, Cyr, Tarabulsy, St-Laurent, & Bernier, 2011), and a modification of the STEEP program (Erickson & Egeland, 2004). Additionally, we highlight a number of relationally oriented interventions for child maltreatment that do not employ a home-visiting strategy, including Circle of Security (COS; Cooper, Hoffman, & Powell, 2003), Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT; Chaffin et al, 2004), Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT; Klerman, Weissman, Rounsaville, & Chevron, 1984; Weissman, Markowitz & Klerman, 2000), and Interpersonal Psychotherapy for adolescents (IPT-A; Moreau, Mufson, Weissman, & Klerman, 1991; Mufson, Moreau, Weissman, & Klerman, 1993; Mufson, Moreau, & Weissman, 1996).…”
