“…When specific MBUs were named in the 44 publications, it was evident that there are multiple sources collecting data from the same places: Bethlem Royal Hospital in South London, UK (Kenny et al 2013;Pawlby et al 2010;Seneviratne et al 2003), Wythenshawe Hospital in Manchester, UK (Antonysamy, Wieck, and Wittkowski 2009;Neil, Sanderson, and Wieck 2006), Austin Hospital in Melbourne, Australia (Bilszta, Buist, Wang, and Zulkefli 2012;, Helen Mayo House in Adelaide, Australia (Connerty et al 2015;Yelland et al 2015); and unnamed MBUs in Belgium (Vliegen et al 2010;Vliegen et al 2013) and Manchester in the UK (Wan, Salmon et al 2007;Wan, Warburton et al 2007; highlights that aside from the larger scale Marcé database information, studies focus on a small number of MBUs.…”

“…They found that the interventions were not clearly better than standard care (which already include music and art therapy interventions). A video feedback intervention was also used by Kenny et al (2013) in the UK to examine possibilities for improving mother-infant interaction. They found that there were improved interactions regardless of the diagnoses (including schizophrenia) of the mothers.…”

Purpose: Psychiatric Mother-Baby Units (MBUs) are currently viewed as best practice, particularly in the United Kingdom, Australia, and France, for improving outcomes for mothers and babies when the former are experiencing severe forms of mental illness. A growing number of publications have examined MBUs, but to date there has not been a comprehensive review of these studies. As such, the systematic review reported in this paper sought to address this gap. Methods: A systematic search was conducted for peer-reviewed research and grey literature published in English between 2000 and 2015. A final sample of 44 publications were identified that reported on empirical findings with regard to MBUs. Three quarters of the studies focused on individual MBUs and most studies were quantitative. Results: A thematic analysis of the studies identified three major themes: (1) admissions data, (2) outcomes for mothers, and (3) programs and interventions. The analysis also identified four secondary themes: (i) follow up after discharge; (ii) separation of mothers and babies after discharge; (iii) client satisfaction with MBUs; and (iv) partners of women admitted to MBUs. Conclusions: The findings of the review highlight gaps in knowledge about MBUs and provide suggestions for future research.

“…Goodman & Brumley (1990) found that in a high-risk community sample, women with schizophrenia showed poorer quality interactions compared with women with depression. However, Kenny et al (2013) found no differences between different diagnostic groups in their sample.

“…The CARE‐Index also has been utilized with high‐risk children such as premature infants (Forcada‐Guex, Pierrehumbert, Borghini, Moessinger, & Muller‐Nix, ), infants with failure to thrive (Crittenden, ; Ward, Kessler, & Altman, ), and maltreated infants (Crittenden & DiLalla, ). Often employed as outcome measure in intervention research, the CARE‐Index has been used to assess changes in mother–infant interaction following a video‐feedback intervention for severely depressed mothers admitted to a psychiatric a mother–baby unit (Kenny, Conroy, Pariante, Seneviratne, & Pawlby, ). In this study, the CARE‐Index sufficiently detected intervention effects.…”

The relationship between maternal-infant interaction and attachment quality to infant developmental outcomes has long been established. As children mature, problems stemming from troubled caregiver-infant relations may result in referral to mental health or child protection services. The accurate and appropriate assessment of attachment is critical for early recognition of problematic relations and for informing suitable treatment modalities. Evaluating the quality of attachment poses a challenge for researchers and clinicians seeking to explore the association between infant development and the quality of early caregiving experiences. Although providing a definitive answer to the question of which of these assessment procedures is the single universal standard for measuring attachment quantity is beyond the scope of this article, readers will be provided with a description and comparison of strengths and limitations of the most commonly used measures of attachment, including the Strange Situation Procedure (M.D.S. Ainsworth, M.C. Blehar, E. Waters, & S. Wall, 1978), Attachment Q-Sort (E. Waters & K.E. Deane, 1985), Toddler Attachment Sort (TAS-45; J. Kirkland, D. Bimler, A. Drawneek, M. McKim, & A. Scholmerich, 2004), CARE-Index (P. Crittenden, 1985), Atypical Maternal Behavior Instrument for Assessment and Classification (AMBIANCE; E. Bronfman, E. Parsons, & K. Lyons-Ruth, 1999), Massie-Campbell Scale of Mother-Infant Attachment Indicators During Stress Scale (Attachment During Stress Scale; H.N. Massie & B.K. Campbell, 1983), and the Risky Situation Procedure (D. Paquette & M. Bigras, 2010).
