Trauma Screening in Child Welfare
Attachment Security in Three‐Year‐Olds who Entered Substitute Care in Infancy
This study assessed relations among number of out‐of‐home placement changes, time in caregivers’ care, caregiver type (i.e., foster parent, adoptive parent, kinship relation, and biological parent), child gender, and caregiver–child emotional availability (EA) as predictive of child attachment security when children were 3 years old in a sample of 104 caregivers and children. Children entered court‐ordered care by 6 months of age. On average, chi…
Implementing Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act (Capta) Requirements to Serve Substance-Exposed Newborns
The Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act (CAPTA) of 2003 requires states to develop procedures to notify child protective services of newborns prenatally exposed to illegal substances and develop plans of safe care. In 2005 the Administration for Children and Families awarded grants to four programs to develop models for implementing these CAPTA requirements. Although the programs were quite varied, they encountered similar challenges collabo…
Negative emotional reactivity and regulation in 12‐month‐olds following emotional challenge
We predicted that the quality of mother–infant play as measured by the second edition of the Emotional Availability Scales (EAS; Biringen, Robinson, & Emde, 1993) would be significantly associated with infant emotion regulation over and above infant emotional reactivity in response to an emotionally challenging event. Forty‐five 12‐month‐old infants and their mothers participated in a play session and a protocol designed to elicit infant emotiona…
Assessment, intervention, and research with infants in out‐of‐home placement
Infants constitute a large and increasing proportion of youth in out‐of‐home placement. These infants have very high rates of medical illnesses, developmental delays, and substantial risks for psychopathology. They receive varying amounts of services from a complex and poorly integrated service system that includes four principal service sectors: the child welfare, medical, early intervention, and mental health service sectors. These service syst…
Maternal Depression and Comorbidity
The infant-toddler social and emotional assessment (Itsea)
This paper examines associations between maternal ratings of social-emotional problems and competencies on the Infant–Toddler Social Emotional Assessment (ITSEA), a new adult informant instrument, with observational measures of attachment status, task mastery, emotion regulation, and coping behaviors. In addition, associations between maternal ratings on the ITSEA and the Infant Behavior Questionnaire (IBQ), a widely used temperament rating scale…
