In conversation... Professor Helen Minnis on Attachment

At our Infant Mental Health conference, held in Southampton in December 2018, Clare Evans, second year training psychologist, University of Southampton, spoke to Professor Helen Minnis, Professor of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, University of Glasgow.

Professor Minnis discussed her early experiences of working in an orphanage in Guatemala and how it influenced her career, attachment disorders, and her current innovative research with the BeST? Study, which aims to find out what is the best service for young abused and neglected pre-school children coming into foster care.
