Perinatal loss and infant mental health: An introduction
Why should infant mental health clinicians be interested in perinatal loss? As experts on the meaning of infants to their parents, infant mental health professionals are uniquely suited to appreciate the meaning of loss of an infant. Complexly interwoven factors related to the infant, the parent, and the larger social and historical context affect the meanings of loss for parents. In addition, perinatal losses are thought to have implications for…
The relation between infants' self/mother knowledge and three attachment categories
The relation between attachment and knowledge of self and mother was assessed in 1-to 2-year-old infants. Infant behavior in the Strange Situation was classified according to three attachment categories: secure, insecure-avoidant, and insecure-resistant. Infants' featural knowledge was measured by featural recognition, name, possession, and gender. Infants who were securely or resistantly attached had significantly more complex knowledge of mothe…

The study assessed maternal depression and maternal emotional a…
Infant psychiatry clinic grand rounds. Unresolved grief: A two-year-old brings her mother for treatment
Rebecca was a 2 1/2 -year-old Caucasian female who was brought to the Infant Psychiatry Clinic by her 28-year-old widowed mother. Her mother's chief concern was around parenting issues as well as how to explain to Rebecca the death of her father. This loss occurred when Rebecca was 6 months old and was a source of great pain and unresolved grief to her mother. Central to this case was the chaotic history of Rebecca's mother, who was a victim of i…
Exploratory play as an index of mastery motivation: Relationships to persistence, cognitive functioning, and environmental measures
Stress and Neonatal Sleep
Routine circumcision, done without anesthesia in the newborn nursery, was usually followed by prolonged nonrapid eye movement (NREM) sleep. Since this form of sleep has been described as a low point on an arousal continuum, we consider its increase to be consistent with a theory of conservation-withdrawal in response to stressful stimulation
