Conduct and Support Research
ICF's third significant activity is the support and conduct
of research into the effect of early trauma on attachment.
Children suffering such effects have often been considered
"untreatable" due to their limited response to traditional
methodologies, so further research is critically needed.
This activity includes developing new assessment and related
materials, researching the efficacy of therapeutic models,
and conducting other research that promises to help us
understand and remediate the effects of childhood trauma.
ICF staff, often in collaboration with professional
colleagues, will conduct this activity. Any intellectual
property generated in the course of research and
research-related activities carried out by or on behalf of
ICF will become property of ICF. Research-related activities
further ICF's charitable purposes by advancing the state of
science in the field. This activity has begun on a very
limited basis, but will be expanded to eventually comprise
approximately 20% of ICF activities. |
