Given links between attachment and psychopathology, numerous researchers have developed attachment intervention programs. Perhaps the best‐known attachment intervention is Circle of Security (Hoffman, Marvin, Cooper, & Powell, 2006), a program for parents of young children that focuses on augmenting a parent’s ability to serve as a secure attachment figure by providing comfort in times of threat and serving as a base from which to explore their environment (see Figure 4.6). This intervention decreases disorganized and insecure attachment styles (Cassidy, Woodhouse, Sherman, Stupica, & Lejuez, 2011; Hoffman et al., 2006).

Child–Parent Psychotherapy (CPP) is a manualized intervention for families with young children (less than five years of age; Lieberman & Van Horn, 2005) who have experienced trauma and helps parent resolve their own difficult childhood experiences. This program increases maternal empathy (Lieberman, Weston, & Pawl, 1991) and attachment security (Cicchetti, Rogosch, & Toth, 2006), and reduces psychopathology among children (Lieberman, Van Horn, & Ippen, 2005). Two other programs, the UCLA Family Development Project (e.g., Heinicke et al., 2006) and Minding the Baby (e.g., Slade et al., 2005), target mothers before the birth of their firstborn infants.
