abstract="Among a group of &quot;high-risk&quot; mothers, limited contact with the newborn at birth was not related to later disorders of mothering. In this prospective, longitudinal study, prematurity and other indices of &quot;bonding failure&quot; did not occur with greater frequency among a subsample of mothers who mistreated their children than among a similar subgroup providing adequate care.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
