“…Relationships are among the most salient factors affecting happiness and wellbeing for individuals and families (Ainsworth, 1985; Stack & Eshleman, 1998; Bowlby, 1958; Ryan & Deci, 2000). The quality and stability of intimate relationships have been linked with a number of key outcomes, including physical and mental health (Fincham & Beach, 2010; Gottman, 1998; Huston, 2000; Levinger & Huston, 1990), personal wellbeing and life satisfaction (Proulx, Helms, & Buehler, 2007), and individual productivity (Dollahite & Rommel, 1993).…”

Relationships are among the most salient factors affecting happiness and wellbeing for individuals and families. Relationship science has identified the study of dyadic behavioral patterns between couple members during conflict as an important window in to relational functioning with both short-term and long-term consequences. Several methods have been developed for the momentary assessment of behavior during interpersonal transactions. Among these, the most popular is the Specific Affect Coding System (SPAFF), which organizes social behavior into a set of discrete behavioral constructs. This study examines the interpersonal meaning of the SPAFF codes through the lens of interpersonal theory, which uses the fundamental dimensions of Dominance and Affiliation to organize interpersonal behavior. A sample of 67 couples completed a conflict task, which was video recorded and coded using SPAFF and a method for rating momentary interpersonal behavior, the Continuous Assessment of Interpersonal Dynamics (CAID). Actor partner interdependence models in a multilevel structural equation modeling framework were used to study the covariation of SPAFF codes and CAID ratings. Results showed that a number of SPAFF codes had clear interpersonal signatures, but many did not. Additionally, actor and partner effects for the same codes were strongly consistent with interpersonal theory’s principle of complementarity. Thus, findings reveal points of convergence and divergence in the two systems and provide support for central tenets of interpersonal theory. Future directions based on these initial findings are discussed.

“…A model that considers the quality of mothering and attachment is important because of the considerable influence of mothering during the critical period of early childhood (Ainsworth, 1973;Berlin et al, 2005;Bowlby, 1958;Cicchetti, Toth, & Rogosch, 1999). In most of the world, the early attachment relationship is incumbent on the mother, with the quality of the relationship dependent on the mother's capacity for sensitivity, reliability, and consistency (Ainsworth, Blehar, Waters, & Wall, 1978;Maggi, Irwin, Siddiqi, & Hertzman, 2010).…”

“…The model was derived from an extensive, cogent review of the literature and the clinical experience of the first author with these families. Our primary constructs include attachment theory for the quality of mothering (Ainsworth et al, 1978;Berlin et al, 2005;Bowlby, 1958Bowlby, , 1982Powell et al, 2014), the dimensions of resourcefulness (Zauszniewski, 2006;Zauszniewski & Musil, 2012), a composite definition of disorder severity (Bybee et al, 2003) that includes levels of community functioning and medication adherence, and child rearing beliefs (Bavolek & Keene, 1999). Additionally, predicted outcomes of maternal quality were elucidated using multi-dimensional criteria consisting of maternal (a) behaviors; (b) knowledge, beliefs, and attitudes; and (c) emotional experiencing of her child.…”

A sensitive, secure, and consistent relationship with their mother is critical for young children. There is a dearth of knowledge about the quality of mothering of young children by women with bipolar disorder. These mothers are frequently challenged, unable to provide consistency, and are at risk for loss of child custody. The model described in this article reflects a critical analysis of conceptual and empirical literature regarding mothering quality, resourcefulness, disorder severity, medication adherence, social supports, and child-rearing beliefs. The model can provide a conceptual framework for research, direct the selection of research instruments, and hypothesize the relationships among constructs.

“…Then René Spitz (1945) and Bowlby (1958) revealed the devastating effects on a child’s emotional well-being of separation from maternal care in routine hospital care with nursing directed only to respond to those reflex demands. Spitz observed that babies develop smiling between 2 and 5 months to regulate social contacts (Spitz and Wolf, 1946), and he went on to study the independent will of the baby to regulate engagements of care or communication, by nodding the head for ‘yes’ or shaking for ‘no’ (Spitz, 1957).…”

Music is at the centre of what it means to be human – it is the sounds of human bodies and minds moving in creative, story-making ways. We argue that music comes from the way in which knowing bodies (Merleau-Ponty) prospectively explore the environment using habitual ‘patterns of action,’ which we have identified as our innate ‘communicative musicality.’ To support our argument, we present short case studies of infant interactions using micro analyses of video and audio recordings to show the timings and shapes of intersubjective vocalizations and body movements of adult and child while they improvise shared narratives of meaning. Following a survey of the history of discoveries of infant abilities, we propose that the gestural narrative structures of voice and body seen as infants communicate with loving caregivers are the building blocks of what become particular cultural instances of the art of music, and of dance, theatre and other temporal arts. Children enter into a musical culture where their innate communicative musicality can be encouraged and strengthened through sensitive, respectful, playful, culturally informed teaching in companionship. The central importance of our abilities for music as part of what sustains our well-being is supported by evidence that communicative musicality strengthens emotions of social resilience to aid recovery from mental stress and illness. Drawing on the experience of the first author as a counsellor, we argue that the strength of one person’s communicative musicality can support the vitality of another’s through the application of skilful techniques that encourage an intimate, supportive, therapeutic, spirited companionship. Turning to brain science, we focus on hemispheric differences and the affective neuroscience of Jaak Panksepp. We emphasize that the psychobiological purpose of our innate musicality grows from the integrated rhythms of energy in the brain for prospective, sensation-seeking affective guidance of vitality of movement. We conclude with a Coda that recalls the philosophy of the Scottish Enlightenment, which built on the work of Heraclitus and Spinoza. This view places the shared experience of sensations of living – our communicative musicality – as inspiration for rules of logic formulated in symbols of language.
