A case study and process evaluation of video feedback to promote positive parenting alone and with representational attachment discussions

In this chapter, the authors take a closer look at the processes of the intervention programs VIPP and VIPP-R as implemented in the Leiden intervention study. The VIPP-R focused on enhancing Sarah's sensitive parenting and her child's security by providing her with four sessions of video feedback and four parenting brochures, and additionally aimed at restructuring Sarah's insecure mental representation of attachment by discussing her past and present attachment experiences. The authors aim to illustrate the intervention process of the VIPP and VIPP-R programs in the Leiden intervention study through a case study and a first process evaluation by the home visitors and the mothers involved. Limitations of the current study pertain to the modest sample size and to the absence of information in logbooks or questionnaires about the control group. In future intervention studies it would be interesting to compare process evaluations of intervention and control mothers.
