Abstract
This thesis is comprised of three chapters. Chapter One is a literature review with meta-analysis of studies reporting the event rate of mothers’ intrusive thoughts of harm towards their infant during the perinatal period. The findings indicated a pooled prevalence of 76% for thoughts of accidental harm and 24% for thoughts of intentional harm. Chapter Two is an empirical study investigating fathers’ intrusive thoughts of harm towards their infant. Results revealed that 99% of fathers experienced thoughts of accidental harm and 69% of fathers experienced thoughts of intentional harm towards their infant. Chapter Three consists of two press releases presenting the findings to the wider public.
