Fathers in attachment theory and research: A review
This paper provides a brief history of attachment research on fathers as a backdrop against which the other contributions to this volume can be viewed. Empirical research on child–father attachment progressed in four phases and began before Bowlby in 1969 published the first volume of his attachment trilogy. During each phase a different set of questions emerged. Initially, researchers compared fathers to mothers as potential attachment figures. …

Parenting Representations: Theory, Research, and Clinical Implications
The study of parents from their own perspective not just as socializing agents of their children has been long neglected. This book summarizes and presents the new and surging literature on parenting representations namely parents' views, emotions and internal world regarding their parenting. Within this area, several prominent researchers typically coming from the attachment tradition suggested various ways of assessing parenting representations…

The origins of attachment theory: John Bowlby and Mary Ainsworth
Attachment theory is based on the joint work of John Bowlby (1907-1991) and Mary Salter Ainsworth (1913- ). Its developmental history begins in the 1930s, with Bowlby's growing interest in the link between maternal loss or deprivation and later personality development and with Ainsworth's interest in security theory. Although Bowlby's and Ainsworth's collaboration began in 1950, it entered its most creative phase much later, after Bowlby had form…
Family relationships as represented in a story-completion task at thirty-seven and fifty-four months of age
Children at thirty-seven and fifty-four months of age were able to represent aspects of the parent-child relationship, but the older children also elaborated other family relationships and roles
Communication patterns, internal working models, and the intergenerational transmission of attachment relationships
Bowlby postulated that transactional patterns between caregiver and infant become internalized by the infant as “internal working models” of self and other in relationship and that these working models then determine how the infant interprets the caregiver's behavior and responds to it. When parent and infant or child are not reciprocally responsive to signals, defensive processes may interfere with the adequate development and functioning of wor…
Pretense: The form and function of make-believe play
Attachment: The parental perspective
In the course of daily transactions, caregivers and children construct internal working models of self and other in the attachment relationship (Bowlby, 1969). The function of such working models is to guide an individual's own behavior toward the attachment partner and to interpret and forecast the partner's behavior. So far, however, research on internal working models has largely focused on attachment from the filial rather than the parental p…

Individual differences at 20 months: Analytic and holistic strategies in language acquisition
The study focuses on the language abilities of 30 20-month-old children, using data from two sources: a detailed maternal interview and 90 minutes of videotaped observation. Observed language was coded into the categories used for the interview. Production and comprehension at 28 months (MLU, PPVT and morphology comprehension) were also assessed. Observation and interview data at 20 months were highly intercorrelated. Cluster analyses of both dat…

Content and context in early lexical development
Investigators have targeted the onset of reference in children at varying points on the developmental continuum. Their viewpoints seem to be related to issues of the contextual flexibility, content and composition of the lexicon in comprehension and production. This study considered all of the variables in the early vocabularies of 32 children with a mean age of 1; 1·7. An intensive maternal interview was used to obtain data on the words comprehe…

The emergence of intentional communication
Children acquire intentional behavior long before they master intentional communication; intentional communication becomes possible when the infant develops a “theory of mind”
