Feasibility Study of a Mentalization-based Parenting Program for Female Caregivers Involved in Mental Health Services.
The purpose of this two-year pilot study is to adapt a 12-week attachment-based parenting
intervention (Parenting from the Inside Out or PIO) originally developed for substance
abusing mothers (as part of an ongoing NIDA-funded treatment development study; R01 DA17294)
for implementation with female adult caregivers who have or are at risk for long-term
interpersonal conflict with family members, children, or significant others and are caring
for a child between the ages of birth and 7 years. The PIO intervention involves 12-24
weekly 1 hour individual therapy sessions with Masters level therapists who are trained and
supervised by Dr. Suchman (the Principal Investigator) in the PIO approach.
