Stephen Scott, Director of the National Academy for Parenting Research at King’s College London, is a world leader in bringing together highly rigorous science and creative skilled clinical work in the field of parenting interventions for children with conduct problems and for children who were placed in foster care following abuse. His research showed that treatments shown to be effective in university clinical settings could be made to work in the community, even when this involved socially disadvantaged ethnic minorities. This mix of top class science and excellent clinical work applied also to his research with foster children, research that showed that many of the treated children were able to develop new secure attachments.
