TL;DR
Demographic variables, psychosocial stressors and psychiatric variables do not help predict which mothers are likely to experience thoughts of harm or fear of being alone with the infant.
Abstract
The control group was not given the full diagnostic interview. Consequently, the groups were not selected by identical procedures. Also fear of being alone with the infant and difficulty caring for the infant were not assessed in the control group.
