Abstract
Factors that influence the premature infant-parent relationship are discussed. These factors include the parents' individual histories and their preconceptions of the premature infant, the physiological and behavioral capacities of the premature infant, and the nature of the neonatal intensive care unit milieu. Sequelae for parents and infants are examined and approaches to optimizing the parent-infant relationship are suggested.Keywords
