“…For instance, maternal depression may affect maternal behavior and it may be through these differences in behavior that maternal depression affects the development of helplessness in children. Depressed parents tend to be more negative, unsupportive, intrusive, and less warm with their children when compared to nondepressed parents (Cohn, Campbell, Matias, & Hopkins, 1990;Cox, Puckering, Pound, & Mills, 1987;Field, Healy, Goldstein, & Guthertz, 1990;Gordon, Burge, Hammen, Adrian, Joenicke, & Hirito, 1989;Jaenicke et al, 1987;Lucas, Lauren, Montgomery, Richardson, & Rivers, 1984;Nolen-Hoeksema et al, 1995). Further, research suggests that children who are positively involved with their mothers are less withdrawn during family observations than children who are negatively involved (Pettit & Bates, 1989) and that socialization contexts that are overly controlling hinder children's feelings of control which attenuates motivation and induces a helpless response to challenging tasks (Lepper & Cordova, 1992).…”

This study assessed relations between maternal depression, maternal behavior, and helplessness in toddlers. Helplessness was assessed behaviorally in 25-and 32-month-old toddlers while the toddlers were engaged with an impossible task. Maternal behavior (warmth, negativity, control, intrusiveness) was assessed during a mother-child teaching task when toddlers were 18 and 25 months of age. Mothers who reported more depressive symptoms on the BDI had 32-month-old toddlers who displayed more affect-related helplessness. No direct relations were found between maternal diagnosis of depression and helplessness in toddlers. Few differences emerged in the behavior of depressed and nondepressed mothers while interacting with their toddlers, and few relations were found between maternal behavior alone and toddlers' helplessness. However, results suggest that maternal behavior moderates the relation between maternal depression (diagnosis, recency, and symptoms) and helplessness.RESUMEN: Este estudio evaluó las relaciones entre la depresión materna, la conducta materna, y la sensación de no tener ayuda en los infantes. Esta última sensación fue evaluada desde el punto de vista del comportamiento en infantes de 25 y de 32 meses de nacidos en momentos en que dichos infantes estaban ocupados con una tarea imposible de realizar. La conducta materna (la simpatía, la negatividad, el control, el entremetimiento) fue evaluada durante una situación de enseñanza entre la madre y sus infantes cuando éstos tenían de 18 a 25 meses de nacidos. Las madres que reportaron más síntomas de depresión en el BDI tenían infantes de 32 meses de nacidos que mostraban una más fuerte sensación de falta de ayuda relacionada con el afecto. No se encontraron relaciones directas entre el diagnóstico materno de depresión y la sensación de la falta de ayuda en los infantes. Aparecieron algunas diferencias en la conducta de las madres depresivas y no depresivas mientras interactuaban con sus infantes, y se encontraron algunas relaciones entre la conducta materna sola con la sensación de falta de ayuda en los infantes. Sin embargo, los resultados sugieren que la conducta materna aplaca la relación entre la depresión materna (diagnóstico, carácter y síntomas) y la sensación de falta de ayuda.This study was supported by a grant from the National Institute of Mental Health (MH49419).

This paper reports a case series of families participating in Integrated Family Treatment, a home-based parent training and family support program for parents with severe psychiatric disabilities. All 8 families who entered the program over 6 months were followed for 1 year. Seven families remained in treatment for more than 10 months and rated the program highly. Six of the seven parents (85.7%) remaining in treatment improved on one or more measure of parent skills. Integrated Family Treatment is a promising practice that warrants further study.

Interventions were diverse with respect to their nature and effectiveness. Future interventions should combine different intervention strategies to target multiple areas in a flexible manner. The addition of positively focussed and resource-oriented components should be investigated. Trials should include direct assessments of both parents and children, outcomes that are relevant from a public health perspective, and establish the long-term effects ideally until children have reached 18 years of age.

Impact project: Reducing the risk of mental illness to children of distressed mothers

Abstract: A disturbed mother's perception of her child's psychological state reflects her own symptomatology, and is often not in accord with teachers' perceptions of the same child.
