[Mental development of young children in maternal behavior disorders].
To study an interaction between abnormal maternal behaviour and mental development of up to 3 year old children, 26 pregnant women and 26 their children have been studied. The sample included 10 mentally healthy women and 16 women with different psychopathology--mental diseases (11) and personality disorders (5). According to their maternal behaviour, 4 types--reliable, anxious, depriving and neglecting--of mothers were singled out. The children of reliable mothers developed without any pathology and those of anxious ones exhibited delayed development with dependence on adults, anxious ambivalent attachment and inhibited type of personality peculiarities. The children of depriving mothers had deprived syndrome, hysteric reactions, indifferent attachment and personality features of hysterical type. The neglected children revealed pronounced deprived syndrome, hysterical reactions and ill-will terms with other people.
