Marinus van IJzendoorn

I am a currently a visiting professor in the Department of Clinical, Education and Health Psychology at UCL, and a Professor of Human Development at Erasmus University Rotterdam and one of the PIs of Generation R, a large longitudinal cohort study. I am an Emeritus Professor of Child and Family Studies at the University of Leiden.
My research interests include: attachment and emotion regulation across the life span and in various cultural and clinical groups; the neurobiology of parenting; correlates and consequences of child abuse and neglect; and family intervention. Application of meta-analytic and IPD approaches to a range of topics in developmental psychology and psychopathology is one of my foci, and I am interested in the methodology and history of attachment theory.
