    AbstractAlthough a nursing mother who becomes psychotic and requires hospitalization is traditionally separated from her infant, the authors successfully treated a psychotic mother by hospitalizing both mother and son. Staff members cared for the infant in the hospital nursing station and assisted the mother in understanding and caring for her son through a structured schedule of infant care. The early focus on the mother-child relationship hastened the recovery of the mother to no detriment of the child.
