Abstract: The Attachment Video-feedback Intervention (AVI), grounded in attachment theory, employs video feedback to enhance parental behaviors, particularly parental sensitivity, with the goal of optimizing child development and improving attachment security. The AVI program has been evaluated with vulnerable children and at-risk parents, demonstrating significant positive effects for both parents and children. This paper outlines the design of the AVI program and details its implementation in this specific intervention with foster parents and young children in France. A detailed case study is presented to illustrate the application and effectiveness of the program within this specific population, providing valuable insights for clinicians and practitioners. Throughout the AVI program, which included eight intervention sessions with video feedback, improvements were observed in both positive parenting practices and child development. Specifically, we observed an improvement in the foster mother's reflective functioning and an increased sense of self-efficacy, alongside a significant reduction in the foster child's internalizing and externalizing behaviors. By detailing the intervention process, our aim is to illustrate the mechanisms at work within the AVI and to contribute to practitioners' reflections on attachment-based approaches to supporting foster parenting.
