New York
Attachment Consortium

The New York Attachment Consortium is an association of New York metropolitan area developmental and clinical psychologists and psychiatrists working to advance attachment theory and research in the Bowlby-Ainsworth tradition.

Consortium participants include faculty from Adelphi University's Derner Institute for Advanced Psychological Studies, The City University of New York, The State University of New York at Stony Brook, and the Yale Child Study Center.

The Consortium is engaged in a wide range of research on attachment assessment, parent-child interaction, and mechanisms of stability and change. It also supports graduate and post-graduate level training at participating institutions. We meet regularly to design and report on attachment behavior, parent-child interaction, and the therapeutic process.

In addition, the Consortium hosts conferences to increase interaction between experienced clinicians and leading developmental researchers, and is currently working on the use of digital technology to develop and distribute materials that advance mental health through education and clinical intervention.
