title: Preterm labour and delivery: psychological sequelae.
abstract: The psychological care of preterm babies and their families is challenging and at least as demanding for staff as the technical aspects of care. There is growing evidence for the effectiveness of therapeutic interventions in this area, thus ensuring the optimum outcome for the baby, the family and the staff.
