Direct Observation of Parent-Child Interaction based on Attachment Theory

TL;DR: It is suggested that infants at genetic risk are exposed to a more directive interactive style relatively early in infancy, similar to reports in previous literature in older children with autism and in other neurodevelopmental disorders.

TL;DR: Results indicate that the aggressive children, in comparison with the other two groups at age 4, showed a significant delay in their interpersonal awareness and perspective taking ability.

TL;DR: It is shown that cumulative biomedical risk may be one source of inter-individual variability in social cognition at 18 months, and positive postnatal experiences, particularly high levels of responsive parenting, may protect children against the deleterious effects of these risks on social cognition.

TL;DR: The FLQ is a reliable measure of family function that seems sensitive to change and has some evidence of validity but a lack of suitable comparators limited this part of the study.

TL;DR: There are a number of ongoing, large-scale preventive interventions for conduct disorder presently being undertaken as mentioned in this paper, including the Fast Track Project and the Better Beginnings, Better Futures project.

TL;DR: It is suggested that there may be a number of subtypes of attachment disorder, and that the difficulties children with attachment problems face require more than exclusively an attachment framework to meet their needs.
