Attachment for Infants in Foster Care: The Role of Caregiver State of Mind.
Dozier, Mary; Stovall, K. Chase; Albus, Kathleen E.; Bates, Brady
Child Development, v72 n5 p1467-77 Sep-Oct 2001
Examined concordance between foster mothers' attachment state of mind and infants' attachment quality. Found that two-way correspondence between maternal state of mind and infant attachment quality was similar to that of biological mother-infant dyads. Age at placement was not related to attachment quality. Concordance between maternal state of mind and infant attachment was seen even for relatively late-placed babies. (Author/KB)
