Abstract
Depression has a profound impact on parameters of
interpersonal behaviour (Lewinsohn et al. 1970; Libert &
Lewinsohn, 1973; Teasdale et al. 1980). Studies of healthy
mother–infant dyads have demonstrated that infants are highly
sensitive to their interpersonal environment (Murray, 1988). It is,
therefore, likely that postpartum depression, by virtue of its impact
on maternal interpersonal functioning, will disrupt normal infant
engagements with the mother and, as a consequence, impair infant
developmental progress. In recent years a considerable body of
research surrounding this question has accumulated.
