“…Speculations as to why the psychotherapeutic intervention (Brisch et al, 1996) did not reduce maternal anxiety might be explained by the conceptualization of this intervention, which may have lacked specificity. Although mothers in our intervention group had contact with the psychologist/doctor once a week for 50 min, ostensibly addressing their anxiety, the number of sessions was perhaps too little or not specific enough to mitigate the anxiety associated with a preterm birth.…”

In this study, we investigated how the birth of a very low birth weight preterm (VLBW) infant influences the mother-infant interaction at 3 months. We also focused on the impact of the infant's neurobiological risk and maternal anxiety, and their interaction. The comparison of the VLBW preterm sample (n = 79) with an external full-term sample (n = 35) showed mother-infant interactions of the families with the preterm infant to be more vocally responsive during the interaction, but less facially responsive during the interaction. Additionally, higher levels of maternal anxiety were associated with preterm infants being less facially responsive in interaction with their mother. While neurobiological risk of the infant played a part in this association, with higher risk infants also being less facially responsive, the relationship with maternal anxiety and the mother-child interaction was stronger. How these findings may influence therapeutic interventions is discussed.

“…A longitudinal prospective study was conducted focusing on the emotional, behavioral, and cognitive development of VLBW preterm infants in the first 2 years of life (Brisch et al, 1996). The study had an intervention component, with 88 families taking part in a prospective randomized intervention study.…”

“…Im Ulmer Modell [11][12][13] wurde eine prä ventive psychotherapeutische Betreuung aufgebaut, die allen Eltern mit einem sehr kleinen Frü hgeborenen (K 1500 g) unmittelbar nach der Geburt angeboten wird. Gerade die Eltern von extrem kleinen Frü hgeborenen (< 1000 g) sind wegen der oft wochenlangen stationä ren Behandlungszeit ihrer Kinder und der neonatologischen Komplikationen psychisch belastet.…”
