“…Sensitivity scores were derived by computing a correlation between the observers' sort and a sort describing the prototypically sensitive mother, with higher scores reflecting greater sensitivity. The shortened version of the MBQS has established reliability and predictive validity in independent research (Lindhiem, Bernard, & Dozier, 2011;Tarabulsy et al, 2009). Videos from fifteen of the 10-month home visits (19%) were reviewed and scored by an independent expert coder and interrater reliability was adequate (ICC = .78).…”

“…In brief relational models targeting maternal sensitivity, clinicians should track the frequency of appropriate, sensitive parental responses to child behavior across sessions. Additionally, a brief 25 card maternal sensitivity Q-sort (Tarabulsy et al, 2009) could be implemented immediately following observation to provide an overall rating of sensitive parenting, as has been done in prior effectiveness trials (Berlin et al, 2014). Tracking improvement in attachment security is difficult, however successful implementation of CPP in the community has involved brief semi-structured observations of mother-child play (i.e., the Crowell (Crowell & Feldman, 1988)) to assess attachment security pre- and post-treatment along with parent reports of parenting stress and child emotional and behavioral functioning to track treatment progress (Barnett et al, 2014).…”

Relational Interventions for Maltreated Children

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.

The differential susceptibility model states that a given genetic variant is associated with an increased risk of pathology in negative environments but greater than average resilience in enriched ones. While this theory was first implemented in psychiatric-genetic research, it may also help us to unravel the complex ways that genes and environments interact to influence feeding behavior and obesity. We reviewed evidence on gene vs. environment interactions that influence obesity development, aiming to support the applicability of the differential susceptibility model for this condition, and propose that various environmental “layers” relevant for human development should be considered when bearing the differential susceptibility model in mind. Mother-child relationship, socioeconomic status and individual's response are important modifiers of BMI and food intake when interacting with gene variants, “for better and for worse”. While only a few studies to date have investigated obesity outcomes using this approach, we propose that the differential susceptibility hypothesis is in fact highly applicable to the study of genetic and environmental influences on feeding behavior and obesity risk.
