The 6th International Attachment Conference was held in the beautiful historical University town of Pavia, Italy, in August 2013. This conference covered a wide range of interesting work in the attachment field, ranging from neurobiological findings and perspectives, parenting and educational issues, and clinical experiences and implications (http://iac2013.unipv.it/).
pPOD’s Paul Ramchandani and Jane Iles both attended, and presented on the early stages of a pilot study exploring the use of an attachment-based intervention (ViPP) for mothers and fathers. This intervention has previously been used and validated in mothers, and members of the pPOD team are currently involved in adapting and trialling its use for both mothers and fathers together. Alongside the rationale for developing interventions for fathers and families, the presentation largely focused on the early developmental stages of this adapted intervention and the key components involved in delivering the programme to two parents.
The next International Attachment Conference is planned to take place in New York in August 2015.
