The Effects of Mother's Physical and Emotional Unavailability on Emotion Regulation.

Field, Tiffany

Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, v59 n2-3 p208-27 1994

This essay reviews research on mother-infant roles during early interactions and how these serve to foster the development of infant emotion regulation. It provides illustrations of the ways in which physical unavailability (resulting from hospitalization or other separation) and emotional unavailability (resulting from mental illnesses such as depression) contribute to emotion dysregulation.
