title: Families and nurses: building partnerships for growth and health.
abstract: The newborn's social and emotional development depends on a relationship in which attention, affect, and information are shared with the mother. Young, disadvantaged families may encounter characteristic difficulties in maintaining these social relationships. Partnerships for health between nurses and disadvantaged clients require sharing similar relationships, and they present parallel challenges.
