Abstract
For the last few decades, there has been an increase of interest in the development, implementation and evaluation of early intervention programs. In general, early interventions can contribute in a significant way to optimal child development. This paper reviews research on the effectiveness of an attachment-based early intervention program that promotes maternal sensitivity and child attachment security, and discusses the generalizability of this program to various samples in the context of limitations. It also addresses which child and family characteristics lead to more intervention effects with the purpose of identifying the mechanisms that are central to improvements in optimal child development. Thus, it contributes to researchers and practitioners who plan to develop, apply and evaluate early intervention programs that promote positive parenting and child development.
