Description
Edited by two biological anthropologists and a child psychiatrist, this book is the outcome of an international symposium on fundamental and clinical aspects of primate motherhood. Specialists in the fields of anthropology, ethology, psychology and psychiatry present a wealth of new theory and experimental evidence on the biological and social determinants of mother-hood in human and nonhuman primates. Even more importantly, the successful comparison of evidence gives the reader a clearer picture than has ever before been available. This integration provides a novel framework against which the etiological regulation and dysfunction of the mother-infant relationship in all primates can be better understood and diagnosed.
