Abstract

The literature on mother-infant separation involving healthy newborn infants is discussed, and the validity of extrapolating these findings to high-risk infants is examined. The author suggests that factors other than separation are operative in parental response to the infant at risk, and that the quality of mother-infant interactions is ultimately more important than the early onset of these interactions.
