Background: How mother's recall their experience of childbirth, their concerns about body image, their sense of competence in parenting, and their combined sense of self-esteem are all factors with the potential to impact on mental well-being.
Method: A total of 234 women, who had given birth within the past 3 years, completed a survey comprised of the Birth Memories and Recall Questionnaire, the Parenting Sense of Competence Scale, the Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-being Scale, the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Questionnaire and the Body Shape Questionnaire.
Results: Mothers who have higher body dissatisfaction show significantly lower well-being, self-esteem and perceived parenting competence.

If so, how should IA be assessed, pharmacological studies designed, and ethical issues addressed?
Method: Experts from key stakeholder communities, including academic clinicians, researchers, practicing clinicians, U.S.
Objective: To review prevention programs, psychosocial and psychopharmacologic treatments, and service delivery configurations for children and adolescents with maladaptive aggression. To propose a research agenda for disorders of aggression in child and adolescent psychiatry.
