Adult attachment style, early mother-infant interaction and maternal depressive risk - This report presents the preliminary data from a study conducted on 43 (primiparae) first time mothers with the aim of investigating possible links between the attachment style of the mothers to be, their mood disturbances during the transitional phase from pregnancy to early post-partum and the quality of their early interaction with the baby. We postulated that women with insecure attachment would show poorer sensitivity in the motherinfant interaction and a tendency towards a potentially depressed mood. The results established a link between the mother’s attachment style and the quality of the early mother-infant interaction: particularly significant were the low scores in the area of maternal sensitivity which might be indicative of a reduced ability to attune to the baby’s needs and difficulty in establishing and maintaining meaningful relationships.
Key Words: Adult attachment style, early mother-infant interaction, maternal responsiveness, depressive risk
