The effect of maternal
depression and marital adjustment
on young
children's internalizing and externalizing
behavior problems
For example, some have found significant differences between
children with divorced and continuously married parents even after controlling for personality traits such as
depression and antisocial
behavior in parents.59 Others have found higher rates of problems among
children with single parents, using statistical methods that adjust for unmeasured variables that, in principle, should include parents» personality traits as well as many genetic influences.60 And a few studies have found that the link between parental divorce and
children's problems is similar for adopted and biological
children — a finding that can not be explained by genetic transmission.61 Another study, based
on a large sample of twins, found that growing up in a single - parent family predicted
depression in adulthood even with genetic resemblance controlled statistically.62 Although some degree of selection still may be operating, the weight of the evidence strongly suggests that growing up without two biological parents in the home increases
children's risk of a variety of cognitive, emotional, and social problems.

Parental mental illness Relatively little has been written about the effect of serious and persistent parental mental illness
on child abuse, although many studies show that substantial proportions of mentally ill mothers are living away from their
children.14 Much of the discussion about the effect of maternal mental illness
on child abuse focuses
on the poverty and homeless - ness of mothers who are mentally ill, as well as
on the
behavior problems of their
children — all issues that are correlated with involvement with
child welfare services.15 Jennifer Culhane and her colleagues followed a five - year birth cohort among women who had ever been homeless and found an elevated rate of involvement with
child welfare services and a nearly seven - times - higher rate of having
children placed into foster care.16 More direct evidence
on the relationship between maternal mental illness and
child abuse in the general population, however, is strikingly scarce, especially given the 23 percent rate of self - reported major
depression in the previous twelve months among mothers involved with
child welfare services, as shown in NSCAW.17

Behavior therapy is considered probably efficacious for childhood
depression, and a number of other experimental interventions show promise but require further evaluation.12 Currently, only 2 research groups have focused
on psychosocial interventions for childhood bipolar disorder.13 - 15 Hence, increased attention to creation and testing of treatments specifically targeting
depression and bipolar disorder in
children is needed.16 In particular, studies should focus
on children's developmental needs, address comorbidity, involve family members in treatment, demonstrate treatment gains as rated by parents and clinicians rather than
children themselves, and compare experimental interventions with standard care or treatment as usual (TAU) rather than no - treatment or attention control groups.12, 17,18 In addition, parental psychopathology may affect treatment adherence and response.
