Assistant professor Child and Family Studies, LeidenUniversity (0,7 fte April 1997 - March 1999; 0,9 fte April 1999 – November 1999).
Researcher, Ottho Gerhard Heldring stichting, Zetten (0,3 fte April 1997 - March 1999; 0,1 fte April 1999 - November 1999)
My aim is to contribute insight into family relationships and the development of mental health and resilience, and into interventions that can support at risk parents and other caregivers in fostering high quality relationships with children. This goal is pursued by a combination of research on our Generations² longitudinal pregnancy cohort study, creation and synthesis of practice based and research based evidence, and intervention studies in partnership with intervention services and care organizations that support families, children, and people with disabilities. Attachment theory has been a major theoretical basis for this work since our program started in 2000.
