• Resumen

  • This review provides a qualitative comparative analysis of theoretical and methodological aspects of 27 studies in which the results of the implemen-tation of programs involved in child maltreatment are presented with an attachment perspective. The studies were examined following the Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network. It was found that the programs pro-mote the development of maternal sensitivity, mentalization or reflective functioning and empathy, however, the underlying mechanisms are not differentiated according to the type of abuse to intervene. Likewise, it was found that despite the recognition of the mother’s violent childhood ex-periences as one of the main predisposing factors for child abuse, it is a variable that is scarcely considered in the programs examined. These fin-dings indicate the importance of developing intervention programs that consider a cumulative ecological risk perspective
