“…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).…”

It is well established that child maltreatment has significant deleterious effects for the individual as well as for society. We briefly review research regarding the impact of child maltreatment on the attachment relationship, highlighting the need for relational interventions for maltreated children and their families to effectively thwart negative developmental cascades that are so often observed in the context of child maltreatment. Next, historical and contemporaneous perspectives on relational interventions for individuals with histories of child maltreatment are discussed with attention to the empirical evidence for and the current evidence-based status of several relationally based interventions for child maltreatment. Differential sensitivity to the environment is then discussed as a theoretical framework with important implications for interventions for individuals who have been reared in maltreating environments. Current research on neurobiology and maltreatment is then reviewed, with an emphasis on the need for future investigations on genetic variants, epigenetics, and the efficacy of relational interventions for maltreated children. We conclude with a discussion of the tenets of developmental psychopathology, their implications for relational interventions for child maltreatment, and recommendations for advancing the development, provision, and evaluation of relational interventions for individuals with histories of child maltreatment.

“…On behalf of this argument for relationship-based parenting support for reunified parents, we describe a 10-week home visiting program, Promoting First Relationships ® , (PFR; Kelly, Sandoval, Zuckerman, & Buehlman, 2008), that is strengths-based and grounded in attachment theory. We present results of a study that is part of a larger community-based randomized control trial in which PFR was assessed for its effectiveness (Spieker, Oxford, Kelly, Nelson, & Fleming, 2012a).…”

“…Few studies have addressed the efficacy of home visiting services for reunified birth parents of toddlers. This study reports on the findings from a randomized control trial of a 10-week home visiting program, Promoting First Relationships ® (Kelly, Sandoval, Zuckerman, & Buehlman, 2008), for a subsample of 43 reunified birth parents that were part of the larger trial. We describe how the elements of the intervention align with the needs of parents and children in child welfare.…”

Birth parents, once reunified with their child after a foster care placement, are in need of in-home support services to prevent reoccurrence of maltreatment and reentry into foster care, establish a strong relationship with their child, and enhance child well-being. Few studies have addressed the efficacy of home visiting services for reunified birth parents of toddlers. This study reports on the findings from a randomized control trial of a 10-week home visiting program, Promoting First Relationships® (Kelly, Sandoval, Zuckerman, & Buehlman, 2008), for a subsample of 43 reunified birth parents that were part of the larger trial. We describe how the elements of the intervention align with the needs of parents and children in child welfare. Although the sample size was small and most of the estimates of intervention effects were not statistically significant, the effect sizes and the pattern of results suggest that the intervention may have improved both observed parenting sensitivity and observed child behaviors as well as decreased parent report of child behavior problems. Implications are that providing in-home services soon after a reunification may be efficacious in strengthening birth parents’ capacity to respond sensitively to their children as well as improving child social and emotional outcomes and well-being.

“…PFR was first implemented with homeless families in 1998 (Kelly, Buehlman, & Caldwell, 2000; see also Kelly, 2006). The program requires sufficient training for service providers to become competent at providing positive, instructive feedback to caregivers.…”

“…The program requires sufficient training for service providers to become competent at providing positive, instructive feedback to caregivers. Properly implemented, the intervention enhances mother-child interactions and increases maternal responsiveness and sensitivity toward their children (Kelly, 2006). PFR has great potential for improving social, emotional, behavioral, and cognitive outcomes for children who are at risk for poor developmental outcomes, such as those living in low-income families.…”
