Popis: This chapter provides an introduction on research on early prevention done at the Sigmund-Freud-Institut. It also provides an overview on the design, methods and results of the Frankfurt Prevention Study. The enlarged vestibular aqueducts (EVA) project is one of the larger projects concentrating on the evaluation of some different early prevention programmes in day-care centres with children coming from deprived neighbourhoods in Frankfurt am Main. Faustlos is a prevention curriculum which aims at the reduction of impulsive and aggressive behaviour and the increase of social emotional competence in children at preschool age. One further interest resulting from the distribution of attachment types is the connection between attachment and risk factors on the level of the single child. The children's attachment classification was measured by the Manchester Child Attachment Story Task which is one of the major instruments. The chapter concludes with the results of EVA and a perspective on ongoing research on risk factors and early prevention at the Sigmund-Freud-Institut.
