Description
Summary:Although the MIST is helpful, it is still in its embryonic stage of development. It will need to be refined further by practitioners and researchers to see if it is relevant to them and to different cultures and socioeconomic groups. Research must be done to see if each researcher finds the same results and if the items are significant, or if the different gradations are just arbitrary. These are important questions to be asked. We must begin to look at tools for evaluating mother--infant interactions because, until we have a tool, significant mother--infant intervention cannot begin.
