  • Title: What can make the difference? Premature birth and maternal sensitivity at 3 months of age: the role of attachment organization, traumatic reaction and baby's medical risk.
    Author: Coppola G, Cassibba R, Costantini A.
    Journal: Infant Behav Dev; 2007 Dec; 30(4):679-84. PubMed ID: 17449102.
    Abstract:
    The influence of prematurity and maternal attachment organization on sensitivity was investigated in 40 mother-infant dyads. Results show a main effect of attachment and an interaction between attachment and prematurity. Sensitivity was differently associated with medical risk and mothers' traumatic reaction, depending on the quality of attachment.
