Dr. Suchman’s research integrates perspectives from attachment theory, neuroscience of addiction and developmental psychopathology.
Funded by the National Institutes of Health since 1995, her research has focused on developing and evaluating attachment-based parenting
interventions for mothers with substance use and psychiatric disorders. In 2015, she completed the second randomized clinical efficacy trial
testing the efficacy of Mothering from the Inside Out, a mentalization based psychotherapy that aims to promote maternal reflective
functioning - the capacity to make sense of and manage emotional distress in difficult parenting situations and to make sense of young
children's emotional needs in order to promote secure attachments.
Nancy has a wealth of publications in peer reviewed journals. A list of these publications can be found via her biography on the Yale School
of Medicine website here
Two of her recent papers are:
Mothering From the Inside Out: Results of a second randomized clinical trial testing a mentalization-based intervention for mothers in
addiction treatment.
