Methods of the Video-Feedback Programs to Promote Positive Parenting Alone, with Sensitive Discipline, and with Representational Attachment Discussions

This chapter presents the protocol of the VIPP programs, including a description of the intervention methods: the video feedback, the intervention themes, the (optional) written information, and the attachment discussions. In the VIPP programs parents are offered short-term behaviorally focused (VIPP and VIPP-SD) or combined behaviorally and representationally focused (VIPP-R) interventions aimed at enhancing parental sensitivity and positive parent-child interactions. The programs are standardized and individualized, meaning that the intervener works from a general protocol but attunes the specific themes and guidelines to the individual parent-child dyad.
