The advent of hormonal infertility treatments and in vitro
fertilization techniques have led to a sharp increase in the number
of quadruplet and higher-order conceptions in recent years.
Improved neonatal care and nutrition have meant that many more of
these babies survive. Yet it appears that very little research has
been done into the lives of such children and the
psychodevelopmental consequences of their multiple status. In this
book, Marie M. Clay brings together what is known from historical
records and reports in the medical, psychological, and popular
press. She points to the contribution that research studies on
higher multiple sets could make to our understanding of
genetic-environmental interactions and gives valuable
methodological advice for those wishing to initiate such a study.
Changes in social practices and medical knowledge are highlighted,
various aspects of pregnancy and birth are discussed, and the
practical and emotional problems faced by families of multiple sets
are sensitively described. Appended to the book are an illustrated
'Catalog' of quadruplet case reports gleaned from the literature,
including birth details and postnatal histories, plus a directory
of multiple birth associations, support groups, and study centers
around the world.
