Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All parents experience stress as they attempt to meet the challenges of caring for their children. This comprehensive book examines the causes and consequences of parenting distress, drawing on a wide array of findings in current empirical research. Kirby Deater-Deckard explores normal and pathological parenting stress, the influences of parents on their children as well as children on their parents, and the effects of biological and environmental factors. Beginning with an overview of theories of stress and coping, Deater-Deckard goes on to describe how parenting stress is linked with problems in adult and child health (emotional problems, developmental disorders, illness); parental behaviors (warmth, harsh discipline); and factors outside the family (marital quality, work roles, cultural influences). The book concludes with a useful review of coping strategies and interventions that have been demonstrated to alleviate parenting stress.
Download or read book Examination of the Relationships Among Perceived Social Support Parent Infant Bonding and Parent Mental Health in the 3 to 12 Months Following the Birth of a Child written by Gabrielle R. Russo and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Infant development is subject to great influence from one's immediate social environment and caregivers. Therefore, the health of the parent-infant relationship and substantial parent-child interactions are crucial for maximizing exploration and learning opportunities for the child. Previous studies have showed that greater satisfaction with social support may be associated with more positive mental health (Dennis & Letourneau, 2007; Heh et al., 2004). Additionally, research has found that poor parental mental health symptoms relate to poor parent-baby interaction (Parfitt, Pike, and Ayers, 2013). Notably, Lutz et al. (2012) observed an interaction effect of informational social support on maternal-child interactions for mothers with high levels of stress. Thus, evidence suggests reason to investigate an association between social support and parent-infant bonding. The current study extended extant literature as it attempted to distinguish a direct association between satisfaction with social support and parent-infant bonding. It evaluated relationship satisfaction, which may play a crucial role in the mental health of parents (Dudley et al., 2001) and the parent-child relationship (Erel & Burman, 1995). Previous studies primarily assess heterosexual mothers, making this research unique in that fathers and individuals who are members of a non-heterosexual couple were eligible for participation. It was hypothesized that: 1) a direct relationship exists between satisfaction with social support and parent-infant bonding, 2) parent mental health mediates the relationship between satisfaction with social support and parent-infant bonding, and 3) parental perceptions of infant temperament are associated with parental mental health and parent-infant bonding. (Full hypotheses detailed in manuscript.) The current study had a cross-sectional, self-report design. The measures included in this study assessed parent-infant bonding, satisfaction with social support, anxiety and depressive symptoms, parental stress, relationship satisfaction, and infant temperament. The relationship between parent-infant bonding and satisfaction with social support was analyzed. Anxiety, depression, and parental stress were examined as potential mediators. Parents of 3 to 12-month-old infants with a current romantic partner, all in cohabitation, were eligible to complete the survey administered on Amazon Turk Prime with compensation provided. Hypotheses were analyzed using a series of correlations and mediation analyses. Findings from the current study indicate that a parent's satisfaction with the overall social support positively associated with a quality parental-infant bond. Partner social support may play an even bigger role in the promotion of the parent-infant bonding. The relationship between social support and parent-infant bonding was partially mediated by decreased symptoms of anxiety, depression, and parental stress. Additionally, other factors may explain this relationship, and should be examined moving forward (e.g., financial resources or attachment style of parents). Infant temperament and a parent's confidence in reading their infant's cues strongly associated with decreased anxiety, depression, and parental stress symptoms, as well as with parent-infant bonding. Future analyses should incorporate parental perception of infant temperament when investigating postpartum parents' mental health and interactions with their child. The quality of the parental bond to one's infant varied significantly by caregiver; mothers reported higher quality parent-infant bonding on average compared with other caregivers. On the other hand, other caregivers rated their satisfaction with social support from their partner, family, and friends higher on average compared to mothers. These findings show many opportunities for interventions to promote parent-child relationships while in the perinatal period.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents cutting-edge research on adult attachment together with a complete overview of the Adult Attachment Projective Picture System (AAP), the authors' validated developmental assessment. In addition to identifying attachment classification groups, the AAP yields important information about dimensions--including defensive processes--not evaluated by other available measures. Detailed case illustrations show what the AAP looks like "in action" and what it reveals about individuals' early experiences, sense of self, and capacity to engage in close, protective relationships. The AAP can be used in clinical or research settings; the concluding chapter discusses promising applications to studying the neurobiology of attachment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this volume, leading authorities provide a state-of-the-art examination of disorganized attachment: what it is, how it can be identified, and its links to behavioral problems and psychological difficulties in childhood and beyond. The editors offer a fresh perspective on disorganized attachment, not as a characteristic of the infant or child but as the product of a dysregulated and disorganized parent–child relationship. They present cutting-edge research and exemplary treatment approaches. With attention to the subjective experiences of both mothers and children, the book shows how focusing on the caregiving system can advance research and clinical practice.

Download or read book Depression in Parents Parenting and Children written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2009-10-28 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Depression is a widespread condition affecting approximately 7.5 million parents in the U.S. each year and may be putting at least 15 million children at risk for adverse health outcomes. Based on evidentiary studies, major depression in either parent can interfere with parenting quality and increase the risk of children developing mental, behavioral and social problems. Depression in Parents, Parenting, and Children highlights disparities in the prevalence, identification, treatment, and prevention of parental depression among different sociodemographic populations. It also outlines strategies for effective intervention and identifies the need for a more interdisciplinary approach that takes biological, psychological, behavioral, interpersonal, and social contexts into consideration. A major challenge to the effective management of parental depression is developing a treatment and prevention strategy that can be introduced within a two-generation framework, conducive for parents and their children. Thus far, both the federal and state response to the problem has been fragmented, poorly funded, and lacking proper oversight. This study examines options for widespread implementation of best practices as well as strategies that can be effective in diverse service settings for diverse populations of children and their families. The delivery of adequate screening and successful detection and treatment of a depressive illness and prevention of its effects on parenting and the health of children is a formidable challenge to modern health care systems. This study offers seven solid recommendations designed to increase awareness about and remove barriers to care for both the depressed adult and prevention of effects in the child. The report will be of particular interest to federal health officers, mental and behavioral health providers in diverse parts of health care delivery systems, health policy staff, state legislators, and the general public.

This book was released on 2009-09-16 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: presented in the Introduction (Chapter 1). The focus of Chapter 1 is twofold: (1) to present the research foundations for the psychophysiological correlates of prenatal psychosocial adaptation and the seven prenatal personality dimensions with progress in labor and birth outcomes, and particularly (2) to present the theory underlying the seven dimensions of prenatal psychosocial adaptation, which are further analyzed in the following seven chapters. Chapters 2–8 present a content analysis of the interview responses to the seven significant prenatal personality dimensions that are predictive of pregnancy adap- tion, progress in labor, birth outcomes, and postpartum maternal psychosocial adaptation, and they include: (1) Acceptance of Pregnancy, (2) Identification with a Motherhood Role, (3) Relationship with Mother, (4) Relationship with Husband, (5) Preparation for Labor, (6) (Prenatal) Fear of Pain, Helplessness, and Loss of Control in Labor, and (7) (Prenatal) Fear of Loss of Self-Esteem in Labor. There is no other comparable comprehensive, in-depth, prenatal personality research or empirical and content analysis of pregnancy-specific dimensions of maternal psychosocial adaptation to pregnancy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ethological attachment theory is a landmark of 20th century social and behavioral sciences theory and research. This new paradigm for understanding primary relationships across the lifespan evolved from John Bowlby’s critique of psychoanalytic drive theory and his own clinical observations, supplemented by his knowledge of fields as diverse as primate ethology, control systems theory, and cognitive psychology. By the time he had written the first volume of his classic Attachment and Loss trilogy, Mary D. Salter Ainsworth’s naturalistic observations in Uganda and Baltimore, and her theoretical and descriptive insights about maternal care and the secure base phenomenon had become integral to attachment theory. Patterns of Attachment reports the methods and key results of Ainsworth’s landmark Baltimore Longitudinal Study. Following upon her naturalistic home observations in Uganda, the Baltimore project yielded a wealth of enduring, benchmark results on the nature of the child’s tie to its primary caregiver and the importance of early experience. It also addressed a wide range of conceptual and methodological issues common to many developmental and longitudinal projects, especially issues of age appropriate assessment, quantifying behavior, and comprehending individual differences. In addition, Ainsworth and her students broke new ground, clarifying and defining new concepts, demonstrating the value of the ethological methods and insights about behavior. Today, as we enter the fourth generation of attachment study, we have a rich and growing catalogue of behavioral and narrative approaches to measuring attachment from infancy to adulthood. Each of them has roots in the Strange Situation and the secure base concept presented in Patterns of Attachment. It inclusion in the Psychology Press Classic Editions series reflects Patterns of Attachment’s continuing significance and insures its availability to new generations of students, researchers, and clinicians.
