Maternal-Infant Bonding: A Joint Rebuttal

ELIZABETH ANISFELD PHD, MARY ANN CURRY RN, DNSC, DEBORAH J. HALES MD, JOHN H. KENNELL MD, MARSHALL H. KLAUS MD, EVELYN LIPPER MD, SUSAN O'CONNOR MD, EARL SIEGEL MD, and ROBERT SOSA MD

Inaccuracies in Lamb's recent review1 of studies of maternal-infant bonding have resulted in considerable confusion and misunderstanding among those not well acquainted with the field. This rebuttal, prepared by the investigators whose works were sited, addresses these inaccuracies so that a fuller and more productive discussion of this area of study can occur in the future. Under the name of each investigator, Lamb's criticisms are quoted, after which the original researcher responds with corrected information.
