Parenthood at risk: Maternal depression and relationship with the child at 18 months - Postpartum depression has negative repercussions on the woman, on the couples’ relationship and on the child’s development. The purpose of the present work is to evaluate the characteristics of the mother-child interaction at 18 months after delivery, in association to PND. The sample consists of 167 dyads. The instruments used are: the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale, Manzano’s Questionnaire on mother-child health, Bur’s Scale on the mother-child relationship, Guaraldi’s Scale on indicators of early alterations of the mother-child relationship. One year and half after the child’s birth, 8.9% of women manifested depressive sintoms (cut-off 12/13). Such depressive symptomatology resulted to be associated to interactive disregulations of the dyad, defined (which express themselves) as a prevalence of discontinuity and a greater number of pathologic interactive behaviors.

Key words: parenthood, postpartum depression, mother-infant interactions, 18 months
