We are looking for participants for our study on biology and behavior in mother-infant bonding.

Positive interpersonal relationships are essential for human well-being. Attachment theory emphasizes the importance of infant-mother interactions, as early life experiences can act as a kind of "blueprint" for later relationships.Mental illness can affect social behavior and cause children and adolescents to have great difficulty establishing long-term healthy interpersonal relationships. In order to develop better support services, the study examines biological and behavioral bases of mother-child attachment in children and adolescents with and without mental illness.
