AbstractGroups of 18 physically abusive mothers, 19 neglecting mothers, and their matched controls were compared on depression and self‐esteem. The controls were matched on maternal age, ethnic background, and years of education. The physically abusive mothers had significantly higher levels of depression and lower self‐esteem than did the matched controls. The neglecting mothers had higher levels of depression, but not lower self‐esteem than did the matched controls. The abusive and neglecting mothers had very similar levels of depression and dissimilar levels of self‐esteem. Ameliorating these psychological factors when working with maltreating mothers and their children should be one emphasis of treatment intervention p

摘要:

AbstractThe prognosis for infants diagnosed with cancer before the age of 12 months continues to be generally dismal. Consequently, these babies receive very aggressive treatment and regularly endure many events that cause distress. This study followed a cohort of six infants diagnosed with cancer from the onset of treatment utilizing repeated assessments of cognitive and motor development. The purpose of the study was to evaluate systematically the impact of stressful life events and the protective effects of parents' remaining with their children during repeated hospitalizations. Across lengthy and aggressive treatments with chemotherapy, these infants demonstrated no signs of developmental lags or abnormalities, and parents reported generally positive effects for their marriages when remaining in the hospital with their baby. Results are discussed within a framework of coping with stressful life events and the protective effects for infants associated with encouraging parents to remain with their sick children as much as possible during hospitalizations.

摘要:

AbstractThe purpose of this article is to broaden our understanding of colic and to explore the effects of infant colic both on the mother's stress level and on her anxiety about separation from her infant. A “colic” group of 20 mother‐infant dyads was compared with a second, control “noncolic” group of equal size. Significant group differences in the amount of time the infants cried, fussed, and were in a quiet/awake state were found. Although no difference in maternal trait anxiety was found, mothers in the colic group reported higher levels of stress associated with their infants' crying behavior. This stress was inversely related to the amount of time the infants slept during a 24‐hour period. Mothers in the colic group also expressed significantly greater anxiety about separating from their infants for short periods of time; but the lack of freedom was significantlylessof a problem for them than it was for mothers in the noncolic group. We conclude that mothers of difficult infants are more anxious about being separated from their infants, but do not appear to feel “trapped” by their extra

摘要:

AbstractThis study examined longitudinally correlates of mothers' ratings of their infant's temperament and of the infant‐mother attachment relationship. Measures included Carey's Revised Infant Temperament Questionnaire, child‐rearing attitudes, psychophysiological responses to an unfamiliar infant's crying pre‐ and postdelivery, psychophysiological responses to the mother's own infant's crying, and assessments of infant‐mother attachment. The results indicated that maternal ratings of infant temperament at 4 months were significantly related not only to concurrent cry responsiveness but also to cry responsiveness and child‐rearing attitudes predelivery, as well as to the quality of attachment at 1 year. It is suggested that a differential response pattern of mothers of “easy” and of “difficult” infants, which affects the developing infant‐mother bond, may in part originate in maternal dispositions existing
