✦ Synopsis

A recently developed instrument for the quantification of mother-infant interaction, the Parent-Child Early Relationship Assessement (PCERA), was used to observe drug-abusing mothers and their infants. Compared to the standardization sample used in the development of the PCERA, these drugabusing mothers (N = 5 ) showed a tendency toward rigidity and overcontrol in their parenting, a lack of enjoyment and pleasure in relating to their infants, and limited emotional involvement and responsivity in their interaction. An analysis of the dyadic behaviors showed an overall reduction in reciprocity, mutual enjoyment, and regulation of interaction between mother and infant.

Chemically dependent mothers have been characterized as egocentric parents (Coppolillo, 1975) with a narcissistic orientation toward their child (Escamilla-Mondanaro, 1975; Lawson & Wilson, 1979). Researchers have noted developmental problems with infants of these mothers (K. Burns, 1986; Householder, Hatcher, Burns, & Chasnoff,
