Infant-Parent Psychotherapy

A dyadic, relationship-based treatment for parents (ages 18-41) and children (ages 0-2) that is designed to improve the parent–child relationship in the wake of incidences of domestic violence and trauma, including maltreatment and neglect of the child. To prevent compromised development that can lead to later maladaptation and psychopathology, the program seeks to intervene in the early life course of maltreated infants. It does this by examining the insecurities that have developed in maltreating parents from negative experiences during their own childhoods.
