Abstract
The social development, emotional adaptation, and functioning of mothers of failure-to-thrive children, and of a group of matched controls were studied. Results show that maternal behavior of the mothers of the failure-to-thrive groups, while showing no overt psychopathology, did differ substantially from that of the control group.Keywords
