DMM Coffee House #54: ADHD from a DMM perspective

ADHD and DMM-attachment in a Finnish study

March 24, 2021 by CSI

April 27 and 29 2021, Airi Hautamäki and Milla Syrjänen will discuss their research into ADHD using the Dynamic Maturational Model of Attachment and Adaptation (DMM). Their studies explored the self-protective attachment strategies of adults with ADHD, the sensitivity they displayed in dyadic interaction with their under 3-years-old children, the history of the dangers in their family of origin, and how the DMM might contribute to tailoring of individualized psychological treatment. They used DMM-AAI assessments for the parents, and DMM CARE-Index assessments for the parental sensitivity in parent-child interactions.
