The study presented in this book imposes a developmental
perspective on the psychopathology of offspring of depressed
mothers. A primary theme is the interplay of factors in child
(developmental stage, gender, temperament) and environment
(depressed mother's symptomatic behaviour and family functioning)
as contributors to psychiatric and psychosocial problems in
offspring. Children and their families are followed from
toddler-hood to the threshold of adulthood. The emergence and
evolution of problems differ by mother's diagnosis - unipolar and
bipolar depressed as well. Configurations of variables in the
individual child are identified which, in combination, create
diverse processes that put offspring at risk for specific problems.
Early depressed mother-child relationships are strongly
influential. Specific affective and temperament qualities of mother
and child act reciprocally, increasing. The longitudinal data grasp
the nature of connectedness of early experience to ongoing
development, and identify patterns of child-to-adult connections.
Findings suggest new questions and revised research paradigms.
