Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Femmie Juffer is professor emeritus in the field of adoption and foster care at Leiden University, the Netherlands. Her main interests focus on the lifelong consequences of early childhood neglect and abuse in adopted and foster children, as well as their often remarkable resilience and developmental recovery. She was involved in designing and testing interventions to support sensitive parenting and secure attachment in children.

Marian Bakermans-Kranenburg is full professor at ISPA Lisbon. She studies attachment and emotion regulation in parents and their children, with a special emphasis on neurobiological processes in parenting and development. Her academic interests include the interplay between nature and nurture, and hormonal correlates of parenting, in particular, in fathers. She considers parenting interventions very important to support parents and to shed light on the processes that steer child development.
