Re: in utero & infant & toddler trauma

[<nboris@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Lisa--

Bruce Perry does not provide data--his work is more theoretical.  There are
several studies on in utero exposure to maternal anxiety and later
outcomes...See Tom O'connor and the ALSPAC study and a dutch group (van den
Bergh and Marcoen) for key longitudinal studies--there were just presentations
on this in Paris this week at the World Assoc of Infant Mental Health meeting
(www.waimh.org) and the abstracts are on-line.

for infant toddler data, the most systematic clinical research is done by Mike
Scheeringa at my institution (Tulane U. in New Orleans--and yes, we're still
keepin' on!)
