“…However, maternal depressive symptoms were not related to outsiders' ratings of maternal behavior during the conflict conversation. This latter finding contrasts the literature on clinically depressed, European American mothers, but is consistent with a study that has examined these associations in Latino families (Ruttenberg et al, 1997). Thus, maternal depressed mood did not seem to be visibly related to Latina mothers' ability to discuss a conflict issue with their adolescents, but mothers seemed to perceive some disruption to the family system (as assessed by their decrease in family satisfaction) that the raters and adolescents did not.…”

“…Similarly, little is known about how maternal depressive symptoms relate to the mother-child relationship in Latino families. Ruttenberg, Finello, and Cordeiro (1997) found that the interactions of depressed Latina mothers and their infants were not significantly different from those of nondepressed mothers. In contrast, Planos, Zayas, and Busch-Rossnagel (1997) found that depressed Latina mothers praised their children less and gave more negative verbal feedback than nondepressed mothers.…”

“…As such, Latinas may inhibit their expression of distress while interacting with children in an effort to maintain a harmonious relationship. In addition, familismo and marianismo may make it more likely that Latina mothers, compared to other mothers, will place their needs secondary to the needs of their family, especially their children (Ruttenberg et al, 1997). Taken together, these cultural values may differentially shape how Latina mothers communicate or express their mood to their children.…”

This study examined associations between adolescent behaviors, maternal depressive symptoms, and mother-adolescent relationships. Latina mothers and adolescents (111 dyads) completed questionnaires and participated in videotaped discussions. Mothers' depressive symptoms related to adolescents' internalizing and externalizing behaviors and family satisfaction. Observed maternal behavior during a conflict conversation also related to adolescent substance use. Family satisfaction partially mediated the relation between maternal depressive symptoms and adolescents' substance use. Clinical implications for working with Latino adolescents are discussed.

“…The self-esteem measure has been used previously in samples of parenting and nonparenting Latina adolescents [5,6]. The CES-D is used commonly in low-income Latino samples, including those of pregnant Latina women and adolescents, and has been shown to have good psychometric properties in a number of studies [7,8]. No one refused participation in the study (non-Latina adolescents were not included in the present study).…”

“…Contextual and cultural factors amplify or reduce the impact of the mother's illness (e.g., Cicchetti, Rogosch, & Toth, 1998 ;Ruttenberg, Finello, & Cordeiro, 1997). Furthermore, protective factors work against poor outcomes.…”

The aim of the study was to examine long-term sequelae in the children of mothers who were depressed at 3 months postpartum. In a community sample from two general practices in South London. 149 women were given psychiatric interviews at 3 months postpartum and 132 of their children (89 %) were tested at 11 years of age. The children of women who were depressed at 3 months postpartum had significantly lower IQ scores. They also had attentional problems and difficulties in mathematical reasoning. and were more likely than other children to have special educational needs. Boys were more severely affected than girls, with the sex difference most pronounced on Performance IQ. The links between postnatal depression and the children's intellectual problems were not mediated by parental IQ and were not accounted for by measures of social disadvantage nor by the mother's later mental health problems. Breastfeeding did not remove the effect of the mother's illness on Full Scale IQ, but exerted its own influence on Verbal IQ and appeared to mediate the link with mathematical ability. The findings show that adverse experiences in infancy predict cognitive ability and academic performance a decade later.
