Relationships between breast ‐feeding, co‐sleeping, and somatic complaints in early childhood
ABSTRACT
The central aim of this study was to expand a limited body of knowledge on the complex relationship between breast‐feeding, co‐sleeping, and somatic complaints in early childhood. An opportunity sample of 98 parents from the general population with children aged 18 to 60 months consented to participate in the study. Each parent completed a series of questionnaires measuring somatic complaints, sleep problems, co‐sleeping, breast‐feeding, and demographic factors. Findings indicated that co‐sleeping was associated with increased somatic complaints and that breast‐feeding associated with decreased somatic...

Anxiety and depression during pregnancy and temperament in early infancy: findings from a multi ‐ethnic, asian, prospective birth cohort study
ABSTRACT
Maternal antenatal mood is associated with negative infant temperament. This link has not been substantiated in Asian populations. We evaluated the association between antenatal maternal mood and infant temperament among Asian mother–infant pairs. Antenatal maternal depression and anxiety were assessed using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (J. Cox, J. Holden, & R. Sagovsky, 1987) and the State‐Trait Anxiety Inventory (C. Spielberger, R. Gorsuch, R. Lushene, P. Vagg, & G. Jacobs, 1983), respectively, at 26 weeks of pregnancy and 3 months’ postnatally. Infant temperament was evaluated with the...

Examining parents ’ romantic attachment styles and depressive and anxiety symptoms as predictors of caregiving experiences
ABSTRACT
Evidence has suggested that parental romantic attachment style and depressive and anxiety symptoms are related to experiences of caregiving (Creswell, Apetroaia, Murray, & Cooper, 2013; Jones, Cassidy, & Shaver, 2014; Lovejoy, Graczyk, O'Hare, & Neuman, 2000), but more research is necessary to clarify the nature of these relations, particularly in the context of attachment‐salient events such as reunions. In a cross‐sectional study of 150 parents of children ages 1 to 3 years, we assessed participants’ attachment styles (self‐reported anxiety and avoidance) and depressive and anxiety symptoms. ...

Defining relational pathology in early childhood: the diagnostic classification of mental health and developmental disorders of infancy and early childhood dc:0 –5 approach
ABSTRACT
Infant mental health is explicitly relational in its focus, and therefore a diagnostic classification system for early childhood disorders should include attention not only to within‐the‐child psychopathology but also between child and caregiver psychopathology. In this article, we begin by providing a review of previous efforts to introduce this approach that date back more than 30 years. Next, we introduce changes proposed in the Diagnostic Classification of Mental Health and Developmental Disorders of Infancy and Early Childhood DC:0–5 (ZERO TO THREE, in press). In a major change from previous attempts, t...

Diagnostic classification of mental health and developmental disorders of infancy and early childhood dc:0 –5: selective reviews from a new nosology for early childhood psychopathology
ABSTRACT
The Diagnostic Classification of Mental Health and Developmental Disorders of Infancy and Early Childhood: Revised Edition (DC:0–5; ZERO TO THREE) is scheduled to be published in 2016. The articles in this section are selective reviews that have been undertaken as part of the process of refining and updating the nosology. They provide the rationales for new disorders, for disorders that had not been included previously in the Diagnostic Classification of Mental Health and Developmental Disorders of Infancy and Early Childhood: Revised Edition (DC:0–3R; ZERO TO THREE, 2005), and for changes in how certain types...

Symptom presentations and classification of autism spectrum disorder in early childhood: application to the diagnostic classification of mental health and developmental disorders of infancy and early childhood (dc:0 –5)
ABSTRACT
Over the past 5 years, a great deal of information about the early course of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has emerged from longitudinal prospective studies of infants at high risk for developing ASD based on a previously diagnosed older sibling. The current article describes early ASD symptom presentations and outlines the rationale for defining a new disorder, Early Atypical Autism Spectrum Disorder (EA‐ASD) to accompany ASD in the new revision of the ZERO TO THREE Diagnostic Classification of Mental Health and Developmental Disorders of Infancy and Early Childhood (DC:0–5) (in press) alternative diagnostic...

First ‐generation latina mothers’ experiences of supplementing home‐based early head start with the attachment and biobehavioral catch‐up program
ABSTRACT
This qualitative pilot study examined first‐generation Latina mothers’ experiences of supplementing home‐based Early Head Start (EHS) services with the evidence‐based Attachment and Biobehavioral Catch‐up (ABC; M. Dozier, O. Lindheim, & J. Ackerman, 2005) program. Ten low‐income, first‐generation Latina mothers with infants and toddlers enrolled in home‐based EHS were provided 10 ABC home visits by a supplemental parent coach. Following delivery of ABC, mothers participated in in‐depth, semistructured, qualitative interviews about their experiences. Interview themes included positive experien...

Trajectories of change in attachment and biobehavioral catch ‐up among high‐risk mothers: a randomized clinical trial
ABSTRACT
Using an intensive short‐term longitudinal design, this study first examined whether there were significant differences in maternal sensitivity and intrusiveness after completion of Attachment and Biobehavioral Catch‐up (ABC; Dozier & the Infant‐Caregiver Project Lab, 2013) when compared to a control condition. The second aim was to explore the rate and shape of change in parenting behaviors. Participants were 24 mothers and their biological children, who were randomly assigned to ABC (n = 13) or a control condition (n = 11). A structured play assessment with each mother and her child was video‐recorde...

Using the parent –infant relationship global assessment scale to identify caregiver–infant/toddler dyads with abusive relationship patterns in six european countries
ABSTRACT
The study examined whether the Diagnostic Classification of Mental Health and Developmental Disorders of Infancy and Early Childhood, Revised Edition (DC: 0–3R; ZERO TO THREE, 2005) Parent–Infant Relationship Global Assessment Scale (PIR‐GAS) is applicable to six European countries and contributes to the identification of caregiver–infant/toddler dyads with abusive relationship patterns. The sample consisted of 115 dyads with children's ages ranging from 1 to 47 months. Sixty‐four dyads were recruited from community settings without known violence problems, and 51 dyads were recruited from clinical setti...

Mothers ’ and fathers’ prenatal representations in relation to marital distress and depressive symptoms
ABSTRACT
Marital distress, parental depression, and weak quality of parental representations are all known risk factors for parent–child relationships. However, the relation between marital distress, depressive symptoms, and parents’ prenatal representation is uncertain, especially regarding fathers. The present study aimed to explore how mothers’ and fathers’ prenatal experience of marital distress and depressive symptoms affects the organization of their prenatal representations in late pregnancy. Participants were 153 pregnant couples from a Finnish follow‐up study called “Steps to the Healthy Development an...
