Description

About this Event:
This training presents the Working Model of the Child Interview (WMCI), a semi-structured interview developed by C. Zeanah, D. Benoit, and M. Barton that assesses the caregiver's perceptions, feelings and thoughts about their child and their relationship with the child. The interview elicits the caregiver's narrative about the child, focusing on the caregiver's subjective experiences from the time of pregnancy to current interactions. While the interview identifies themes related to content, meaningful characteristics of the caregiver's representation of the child and the relationship can also be inferred from the organization, features, and affective tones of the caregiver's narrative. The information gathered from this interview can be used to develop treatment goals. The interview takes approximately 60 minutes to administer.
Please note that this training has been developed for clinicians with knowledge of infant and early childhood mental health and with experience in administering clinical interviews.
