Under the heading “Early detection of indicators of withdrawal behaviour in early childhood”, the intensive training courses in the ADBB Scale will be carried out in Alicante, Barcelona and Madrid. The purpose is to enable and empower professionals to apply the ADBB scale in both practices and research.
The ADBB Scale is a simple tool, handy and easy to apply. This one is applied during the paediatric office visit of control or in any situation in which the baby is exposed to certain stimulation levels. Moreover, it is very accessible after realising a short training like these courses.
The author of the ADBB scale, Antoine Guedeney, is the head of the Child Psychiatry department of the Hospital Claude Bernard in Paris and the Head of the Psychiatry Department of the Xavier Bichat Faculty. Guedeney was also the president of the World Association for Infant Mental Health (WAIMH).
The ADBB Scale is used by health teams in countries such as France, Portugal, Australia, Brazil or Norway, among others. In Spain, on the contrary, the scale has not been validated yet. Despite this, it has a transcultural validity, because it is validated in Spanish speaking countries such as Argentina, therefore its use in research is allowed since 2001.
