Which of my reactions to distress might my child experience as dismissive?
Grouping caregivers’ reported reactions shows why one response to distress cannot stand in for an entire relationship.
Who was studied?
Eighty parents of children seen in Portuguese child and adolescent psychiatry services.
Age / stage: Ages 3–13
Read with three questions
- Did a cluster represent a pattern across responses or a permanent type of parent?
- Whose perspective is represented by the ratings, and whose perspective is missing?
- Which of my reactions to distress might my child experience as dismissive?
