Title: “Defense Mechanisms of Pregnant Mothers Predict Attachment Security, Social/Emotional Competence, and Behavior Problems in Their Toddlers”
Discussant: Catherine Monk, Ph.D. (New York, NY)
This annual prize is awarded to the paper published in the previous year (2015) that is deemed by the Scientific Paper Prize Committee to have the greatest scientific value to the field of psychoanalysis. This presentation of a paper authored by John H. Porcerelli, Ph.D., ABPP, Alissa Huth-Bocks, Ph.D., Steven K. Huprich, Ph.D., and Laura Richardson, Ph.D., will describe a longitudinal study that examined the relationship between defenses in pregnant women and their toddlers’ attachment security, social-emotional, and behavioral adjustment. Eighty-four women were prospectively studied from pregnancy through two-years after birth. Statistical analyses revealed that mothers’ defenses were associated with toddler outcomes. Mature defenses were associated with greater toddler attachment security, social-emotional competence, and fewer behavior problems, and immature defenses were associated with lower levels of attachment security and social-emotional competence. Findings suggest that defenses in parents preparing for and parenting toddlers influences the parent-child attachment relationship and social-emotional adjustment. Possible mechanisms for these associations may include parental attunement and mentalization. Defensive functioning during times of increased stress (prenatal-to-postnatal period) may be important for understanding parental influences on the child.
