In this review, attachment in early childhood, intergenerational transmission of attachment and psychopathology, and maternal sensitivity and emotional availability which are fundamental factors affecting this transmission will be examined. Further, research from Turkey and international studies will be covered. The findings demonstrated that the maternal sensitivity can act as a protective factor for childhood behavioral and psychological problems.

Lastly, we will summarize intervention programs addressing maternal sensitivity and which were implemented on risk groups (i.e., low income and education levels) in Turkey.
