Online seminar: Analyze and evaluate parent-child interaction videos
The Marschak Interaction Method (MIM; Marschak, 1960) enables standardized observation of the quality of the relationship between a child and a
close caregiver, usually a parent.
On the parents’ side, the following is recorded: leadership, sensitive coordination, emotional attention and care. Regarding all these parental aspects, the
child’s behaviors and reactions are recorded separately. This allows an even more precise focus on the child. The aspects are assessed separately for parent and child on a scale, for which a detailed manual is available (Salo & Mäkelä, 2006/2010; Salo & Booth, 2018). This very precise and objective approach allows an assessment of parental education skills and the parent-child relationship. The video can also be excellent for parental advice and further help. Therapy planning can be used.
Certain groups of tasks allow use in four age groups (6 months to 18 years): babies, toddlers, kindergarten children, school children and
teenagers.
The learning objectives of the 4-day training are:
- Knowledge of the application and interpretation of MIM both with the help of qualitative observation forms and with the help of D-EIS scoring. The training takes place using numerous videos that cover a wide range of emotions/behaviors and scoring results.
- Introduction to the so-called reflective video feedback, ie how the videos and observation results
can ideally be used for solution-oriented advice.
The following materials will be provided in electronic form before the training:
- D-EIS Manual (Salo & Mäkelä, 2006; 2010) + scoring sheets
- MIM interview for parents
- Qualitative observation forms
- RVF (Reflective Video Feedback) – material for parents
- Handout of the lectures
