DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Clinical trials of parent training programs for substance abusing mothers have shown limited success in improving parent-child relationships or children's psychosocial adjustment. One reason parent training programs have not succeeded may be their lack of attention to emotional aspects of the parent-child relationship, especially mothers' capacity to recognize children's emotional needs within a developmental context and respond to them in an emotionally available way. Attachment research has shown that the emotional quality of the parent-child relationship is a strong predictor of child adjustment and mothers can improve bonding by learning to recognize children's emotional cues and their own emotional responses in the parenting role. Recently we piloted an intervention - Emotionally-Responsive Parenting (ERP) -for mothers in drug treatment. In a pre-pilot study with 43 primarily cocaine-dependent mothers, mothers enrolled in ERP showed (1) significant improvement in their capacity to recognize emotional states (their own and their children's, and (2) better attendance, retention, and compliance than mothers enrolled in TAU. In this study we will (1) complete a near-final therapist manual, (2) develop a therapist training program and adherence competence rating scales, (3) conduct a randomized pilot study of the ERP manual with 60 mothers of children ages 2-4 to evaluate the efficacy, feasibility, and acceptability of ERP vs. Parent Training (control), and (4) examine the impact of process and moderator variables on outcome in preparation for a larger, Stage II efficacy trial. Directly targeted outcomes will be mothers': (1) recognition of children's emotional needs and capacities, (2) capacity to monitor children's thoughts and feelings and their influence on behavior, and (3) maternal thoughts and feelings about the parenting relationship. Indirectly targeted outcomes will be mothers' (1) sensitivity and emotional availability during parenting interactions, (2) psychiatric symptoms, (3) daily functioning, (4) drug and alcohol use, and (5) children's psychosocial adjustment.

描述（由申请人提供）：针对药物滥用母亲的家长培训计划的临床试验表明，在改善亲子关系或儿童心理社会调整方面取得的成功有限。家长培训计划不成功的一个原因可能是缺乏对亲子关系情感方面的关注，尤其是母亲在发展背景下识别孩子情感需求并以情感可用的方式回应这些需求的能力。依恋研究表明，亲子关系的情感质量是孩子适应的有力预测因素，母亲可以通过学习识别孩子的情感线索和自己在养育角色中的情感反应来改善亲密关系。最近，我们针对接受药物治疗的母亲试行了一项干预措施——情绪反应养育（ERP）。在一项对 43 名主要依赖可卡因的母亲进行的预试点研究中，参加 ERP 的母亲表现出 (1) 识别情绪状态（自己和孩子的情绪状态）的能力显着提高，(2) 比参加 TAU 的母亲有更好的出勤率、记忆力和依从性。 在这项研究中，我们将 (1) 完成一份接近最终的治疗师手册，(2) 制定治疗师培训计划和依从能力评定量表，(3) 对 60 名 2-4 岁儿童的母亲进行 ERP 手册的随机试点研究，以评估 ERP 与家长培训（对照）的有效性、可行性和可接受性，以及 (4) 检查过程和调节变量对结果的影响，为 更大规模的 II 期疗效试验。直接针对的结果将是母亲的：（1）认识到儿童的情感需求和能力，（2）监测儿童的想法和感受及其对行为的影响的能力，以及（3）母亲对养育关系的想法和感受。间接目标结果将是母亲的（1）养育互动期间的敏感性和情感可用性，（2）精神症状，（3）日常功能，（4）吸毒和酗酒，以及（5）儿童的心理社会调整。
