Empirical evidence suggests that brief, focused interventions aimed at improving caregivers’ responsiveness to children’s cues and signals may be far more effective in promoting sensitive responsiveness in the caregiver and/or secure attachment in the child, than long-term, insight-oriented, broad based interventions. Although caregiver sensitive/insensitive responsiveness has been linked to the organized types of attachment (secure, avoidant, resistant), caregiving sensitivity seems independent of disorganized attachment.
