Detailed description

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.
