Australian & New Zealand Journal of Criminology, 2016, 49(1): 113-133Summary: This paper describes the delivery of a therapeutic infant/mother group work intervention programme in Victoria, Australia called The Peek-a-Boo ClubTM, which ran from mid-2005 until early 2012. It examines the importance of intervening early with infants and mothers impacted by family violence. The intervention used an ‘infant led’ approach to facilitate the repair of relational ruptures in the infant/mother attachment as a consequence of experiencing family violence. It provides an overview of the intervention and work undertaken to enhance the quality of the attachment between mothers and their infants. (From the abstract). Record #4921
