“…Sensitivity and specificity of the EPDS in predicting major depression based on the third edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorder (American Psychiatric Association, 1980) in mothers of newborn children were found to be superior in comparison with the commonly used Beck Depression Inventory (Harris, Huckle, Thomas, Johns, & Fung, 1989). The Dutch version of the EPDS was developed by Pop (1991), who established concurrent validity as well as reliability. Internal consistency in our sample was .74.…”

Main and Hesse's (1990) model in which frightening (threatening, frightened, or dissociated) parental behavior explains why infants of parents with unresolved loss develop disorganized attachment relationships was tested. Unresolved loss using the Adult Attachment Interview in a nonclinical middle-class sample of 85 mothers who had experienced the loss of someone important was assessed. Disorganized attachment was examined in the Strange Situation. Parental behavior was recorded during 22-hr home visits. The model applied to mothers with currently insecure attachment representations. Secure mothers with unresolved loss displayed less frightening behavior than other mothers, and unresolved loss in secure mothers did not predict disorganized attachment of their infants. Frightening behavior predicted infant disorganized attachment irrespective of maternal security.
