Urgent engagement in 9/11 pregnant widows and their infants
The potential effects of maternal trauma on mother–infant interaction remain insufficiently studied empirically. This study examined the effects of the September 11, 2001, trauma on mother–infant interaction in mothers who were pregnant and widowed on 9/11, and their infants aged 4–6 months. Split‐screen videotaped interaction was coded on a one‐second basis for infant gaze, facial affect, and vocal affect; and mother gaze, facial affect, and tou…
Long‐acting reversible contraception
This article presents information on unintended pregnancies and the ongoing efforts of policy makers to promote long‐acting reversible contraception (LARC) to reduce the numbers of such pregnancies. Also discussed is the tension between the encouragement of LARC to promote the public's interests in achieving that goal versus the need to assure that all women can decide about their bodies and reproductive needs. Our discussion includes information…
Predictors of Self‐reported Gains in a Relationship‐based Home‐visiting Project for Mothers After Childbirth
We assessed mothers’ self‐reported gains from a postpartum home‐visiting (HV) project in which home visitors are volunteer mothers from the community. Hypotheses were that gains are positively related to (a) mothers’ felt‐closeness with their home visitor, (b) mothers’ level of sociodemographic risk, and (c) the home visitors’ preproject training in support services for families or children (Professionalism). One hundred sixty‐four clients return…
Maternal anxiety symptoms and mother–infant self‐ and interactive contingency
Associations of maternal self‐report anxiety‐related symptoms with mother–infant 4‐month face‐to‐face play were investigated in 119 pairs. Attention, affect, spatial orientation, and touch were coded from split‐screen videotape on a 1‐s time base. Self‐ and interactive contingency were assessed by time‐series methods. Because anxiety symptoms signal emotional dysregulation, we expected to find atypical patterns of mother–infant interactive contin…
The intergenerational effects of trauma from terror
The goals of this article are to discuss the potential risk of children whose parents were traumatized by terror, to present literature on parenting in the context of terror, and to consider factors that may mediate the transmission of trauma‐effects from parents to children. Mediators considered are parents' traumatic distress, disturbed parent–child interactions, trauma‐related disturbances in parents' thinking, and effects of stress on childre…
Interactions between anxious mothers and their infants
Children of highly anxious mothers are at risk for developmental difficulties including anxiety disorders, and "anxious maternal behavior" and disturbed mother-infant interactions have been implicated in the transmission of risk. In this article, we describe interactions between mothers who are highly anxious and their young infant, based on the few directly relevant observation studies that are available. For more detail, we draw on a broader li…
Temporal changes in the affective experience of new fathers and their spouses
Our aim was to study temporal changes in fathers' affective experience during the first year of parenthood. For comparison, data also were collected from their spouses. Fifty‐five Israeli couples comprised the initial sample, and both partners were interviewed during the prepartum period and at 3, 6, and 12 months' postpartum. Measures of emotionality, positive affect, negative affect, and mood regarding self, infant, and spouse/marriage were der…
Parturient women can recognize their infants by touch
This article shows that parturient women can identify their newborns by tactile cues alone and that the discriminative features are learned, without intent, during routine mother-infant interactions. To test for touch recognition, mothers were instructed to stroke the hand (dorsal surface) of 3 newborns, 1 of which was her own. She then guessed which of the 3 was her own infant. The results showed that the majority of women were successful at the…
