ABSTRACT This study aimed to explore the self-protective strategies of six parents with ADHD and the sensitivity they displayed in dyadic interaction with their under 3-years-old children. The parents were interviewed using the Adult Attachment Interview. Parental sensitivity was assessed using the CARE-Index. The study showed a variation of the parents’ self-protective strategies and sensitivity. The more complex the parent’s self-protective strategy was, the less sensitive was the interaction. Some parents’ need for self-protection compromised their ability to protect their child and decreased their sensitivity. All parents displayed indications of unresolved traumas, which also impaired their sensitivity to the signals of their child and ability to engage in mutual regulation of arousal and emotion with their child. Attachment-oriented family psychological assessment, including assessments of the self-protective strategies of each family member would make possible to design a treatment adapted to the unique family needs, also in order to alleviate early risk.

多动症父母的依恋和敏感性——一项多案例研究

摘要 本研究旨在探讨六位多动症父母的自我保护策略以及他们在与 3 岁以下儿童的二元互动中表现出的敏感性。使用成人依恋访谈对父母进行了访谈。使用 CARE-Index 评估父母的敏感性。研究表明，父母的自我保护策略和敏感性存在差异。父母的自我保护策略越复杂，互动就越不敏感。一些父母对自我保护的需要损害了他们保护孩子的能力并降低了他们的敏感度。所有父母都表现出未解决的创伤迹象，这也削弱了他们对孩子信号的敏感性以及与孩子相互调节唤醒和情绪的能力。
