Summary

Introduction

The significance of the attachment relationship between an infant and caregiver has been shown by numerous empirical findings [1,2,3,4,5]. Poor parenting practice, or less severe form of neglect, have attracted research attention. They are characterized by less sensitive and inconsistent parenting [8], permissive parenting [9], poor mother-child interactions [10], contradictory signaling, role confusion, and fearful or withdrawal behaviors [11]. These parenting practices do not necessarily reflect active engagement in violence, verbal condemnation, or exploitation on the part of the parent, described as child abuse usually, but they feature passive engagement in rejection or lack of availability. The aim of this study was to investigate the independent impact of maternal childhood abuse history (MCAH), after controlling for maternal past, current parenting, and paternal past parenting, and maternal mental health (MMH) on the attachment problems of children living in mother-child homes in Japan
