| Abstract: | The present study clinically evaluated and followed 42 parents and their infants with environmental failure to thrive (FTT) to determine if the type of FTT is related to assessments of parental awareness/cooperation, subsequent FTT outcome, and later neglect. The relationships between the parent's Child Abuse Potential (CAP) Inventory scores and the clinical measures were determined. As expected, the type of FTT was related to the degree of parental awareness/cooperation and to FTT outcome. The degree of parental awareness/cooperation was predictive of FTT outcome. However, no relationships were found between FTT type, parental awareness/cooperation, FTT outcome and later neglect. In contrast, while the CAP scores were not related to FTT type, parental awareness/cooperation, and FTT outcome, they were predictive of later neglect. |
