โฆ Synopsis
This article, which examines mother-infant interaction, addresses the complexities that affect this dyad when there is exposure to drugs. Maternal characteristics are affected by high-stress environments and life events. Also, withdrawal or abstinence symptoms in the infant, and/or poor state regulation, further complicate the interaction. A large number of risk factors are frequently encountered with this dyad and their impact is not fully understood. Studies with other groups at high risk reveal that factors associated with biological risk affect the social and intellectual development of the infant. Among the existing areas of specific investigation, one finds maternal dual diagnosis, psychosocial problems, poor nutrition, and the physical and social environment of the dyad. Methodological and conceptual problems for research and intervention in this domain are discussed. RESUME: Cet article, qui examine l'interaction mere-nourrisson, souleve des problkmes sur la complexite accrue de cette dyade lorsqu'il y a une exposition aux stupefiants. Les caracteristiques maternelles sont affectees par des milieux extrsmements stressants et des vies jusque-la difficiles. De plus, les symptemes de manque et d'abstinence chez le nourrisson, et/ou la mediocre regulation de I'etat compliquent encore plus toute interaction. Un grand nombre de facteurs de risque sont frkquemment rencontres chez cette dyade et leur impact n'est pas totalement compris. Les recherches avec d'autres groupes a haut risque rhelent que les facteurs de risques ajoutes aux facteurs de risque biologique affectent le dtveloppement social et intellectuel de I'enfant. Parmi les domaines exigeants des investigations specifiques, I'on trouve le double diagnostic maternel, les problemes psychosociaux, la mauvaise nutrition, et les milieux physiques et sociaux de ces dyades. Nous discutons les problemes methodologiques et conceptuels pour la recherche et I'intervention dans ce domaine. RESUMEN: Este articulo, que discute la interaccion materno-infantil, presenta asuntos relacionados con la complejidad que adquiere este binomio cuando esta de por medio el hecho de haber estado expuesto al us0 de sustancias. Las caracteristicas maternales son afectadas por ambientes de alta tension y complicadas historias de vida. En adicion, el decaimiento del infante, 10s sintomas de abstinencia, y/o el pobre estado de las regulaciones complica mas cualquier interaccion. Una variedad de factores de riesgo se encuentran frecuentemente en este binomio y su impact0 no se comprende totalmente. La investigacion con otros grupos de alto riesgo revela que 10s factores de riesgo en adicion a 10s factores biologicos de riesgo afectan el desarrollo social e intelectual del niiio. Algunns de las areas que requieren investigacion especifica son la diagnosis dual maternal, asuntos sicosociales, malnutricion, asi como 10s ambientes fisicos y sociales del binomio. Se discuten asuntos metodologicos y conceptuales para la investigacion y la intervencion en esta area.
