Conclusions - Implications for future treatments
High CU traits are a risk for poor outcomes
Parenting interventions remain the central EB approach
Specific parenting strategies could be refined in terms of specific emotional attention proclivities of the child. e.g.
Attention, recognition, responsiveness to emotion
Warmth and emotional engagement
Mirroring, mentalisation (Child centred play)
This study shows evidence that mechanisms can be targeted, can change, and can be disaggregated
No evidence of specific effects on response to PMT
General effects – warmth?
Little evidence that they impact on CU yet! (NB stable high CU criterion)
Hard to change? Temperament, goes to our humanity.
