Abstract
Maternal depression is a prevalent symptom among lowincome mothers with infants. Depressed mothers are more likely than nonde pressed mothers to show hostile and intrusive behavior toward their infants, and infants of depressed mothers are more likely to exhibit slowed development and unstable, avoidant attachment behaviors.Keywords
