Attachment theory has long been at the forefront of research efforts to understand the origins and enduring impact of early parent–child relationships. It has also expanded into a theory of lifespan implications with relevance to problems in developmental psychopathology, early intervention, and mental representation. This review of the expanding research literature on attachment is organized around eight questions: (a) To whom do attachments develop? (b) What are the biological foundations of attachment? (c) How does culture influence attachment and its consequences? (d) What contributes to attachments becoming secure or insecure? (e) How does attachment security change over time? (f) What are the later outcomes of secure or insecure attachments? (g) How does attachment influence thinking and social representations? (h) What are the clinical implications of attachment research? The answers to these questions summarize what has been learned about the importance of early parent–child relationships and identify future research priorities.

At the Henry Street Settlement in New York City, a delin quency prevention project has emphasized the importance of counteracting the contagion of gang activity by detecting and working with groups of eight- to thirteen-year-olds while there is still a good chance of influencing them. Another most im portant step in the corrective process lies in reaching the parents of these children and helping them reassert their own influence and authority. Even the flimsiest of parent-child relationships is a potential source of control, if help is given in time. By bring ing together the parents of budding antisocial groups and by cultivating close, informal supportive relationships with individ ual parents, we have found a means of establishing this control. The children recognize and accept the partnership between home and Settlement which, in most instances, is contributing toward revitalizing parent-child relationships. The approach seems to be having a positive effect on the behavior of the chil dren in these young groups.

Using a relational approach to assessment integrates the theoretical application of developmental, psychological and psychiatric disciplines (Clark, Tluczek, & Gallagher, 2004; Sameroff & Emde, 1989; Sameroff, McDonough, & Rosenblum, 2004). Clark, Tluczek, Moore, and Evenson (2019, Chapter 2) presents a review of these perspectives. This chapter introduces best practices in the assessment of parent–child relationships and provides an in-depth description and illustration of the Parent–Child Early Relational Assessment, composed of both objective ratings and a subjective video replay interview used to engage the parent in assessing his or her relationship with his or her child. In addition, reliability, validity, research findings, and the clinical utility of a wide range of parent–child relationship assessment tools and procedures are provided. The importance of considering the individual contributions of the parent, the infant or young child, the family, and the cultural context in the assessment process is highlighted. Guidelines are also included on the use of relational assessments in research and to inform clinical practice.

Background: It is likely that disrupted early parent-child relationships, eating disorder related cognitions and negative self-beliefs are relevant to some women who are overweight/obese. Aims: This study tested the hypotheses that disrupted parent-child relationships would be linked to higher body mass index (BMI) and that this relationship would then be mediated by cognition. Method: A group of women were recruited from the community and completed measures of eating disorder (ED) thoughts, negative self-beliefs, and parental bonding. Individual body mass indices (BMIs) were calculated. Results: One hundred and eighteen women completed the study. There was a relationship between parental bonding and higher BMI. As hypothesized, the relationship between parental bonding (as measured by maternal care, and paternal overprotection) and BMI appeared to be mediated by a range of ED thoughts, and some negative self-beliefs. Conclusion: The cognitions measured here, both ED related cognitions and negative self-beliefs, may be a useful target when considering psychological treatment for women who are overweight or obese.
