Abstract
To the Editor.—
We are concerned about possible misinterpretations arising from the review of parental bonding studies.1. Our concern is of two sorts: (1) that we not lose ground concerning improved options for families now available in hospitals partly because of the trail-breaking work of Klaus and Kennell, and (2) that we maintain some historical perspective about the research enterprise in general and research related to social policy in particular.
Few would fail to give major credit to Klaus and Kennell and the Cleveland pediatric group for their reports concerning the beneficial effects of allowing parents to be with their infants in the postpartum period.
