Abstract

A six-stage maternal behavior progression is outlined, and its use as a schema for the assessment of parental behavior in parent-infant interaction is described. This approach focuses on parent-infant interaction, rather than the teaching of infant skills, as a basis for enhancing cognitive and affective development of the child. Use of the schema is illustrated in two cases from an intervention program for high-risk infants.
