Abstract
PURPOSE The postnatal period is a vulnerable time for parents and children but epidemiological and health care utilisation data for Germany on parental mental health during early childhood is scarce. This protocol describes the rationale, aim and study design of a population-based cohort study to assess the occurrence and determinants of psychosocial stress and mental health disorders, as well as the use and cost of health care and social services in early childhood. METHODS As part of the collaborative SKKIPPI project, we will contact a random sample of 30,000 infants listed in the residents' registration offices of three German towns and we expect to include 6,000 mother-child pairs. Both parents are invited to fill out an online screening questionnaire. Mothers with indications of psychosocial stress will be interviewed to assess mental health disorders, regulatory problems of their children, as well as health care and social services utilisation, with a follow-up assessment after 6 months. RESULTS After description of sociodemographic and health data, we will analyse occurrences, patterns, and potential determinants (maternal age, social status, household factors, migration status etc.) of psychosocial stress and mental health disorders in the mothers and their children in early childhood. CONCLUSIONS Our study will identify potential risk and protective factors for postnatal mental health and health care utilization of psychosocially burdened families. This will help to improve prevention and treatment strategies to strengthen the parent-child relationship, to reduce persisting vulnerability of children, and to improve health care and social services. TRIAL REGISTRATION The study has been registered in the German Clinical Trial Registry on February 8th 2019 (DRKS-ID: DRKS00016653).

Abstract
This article summarizes the specific treatment options in the combined mother-child treatment for women with postpartum psychiatric disorders. The incidence of postpartum mental illness is high, especially for postpartum depression that probably occurs in10-15 % of cases. Mental disorders not only have a negative impact on the mental health of the women affected, such as chronification and suicidal tendencies but can also adversely affect the mother-child relationship as well as the emotional and cognitive development of the child. For these reasons it is important, also under the aspects of a primary prevention with respect to the children of mentally ill mothers, to provide a needs-oriented, timely and disorder-specific interactional therapy, which also considers the long-term aspects of treatment. At the Celenus Klinik Carolabad in Chemnitz an integrated treatment model, the "Carola PLUS", could be established that caters for the particularly high demands of combined care and treatment for both mother and child.

Abstract
In healthy mother-infant dyads, interactions are characterized by a pattern of matching and mismatching interactive states with quick reparation of mismatches into matches. In contrast, dyads in which mothers have postpartum depression show impaired mother-infant interaction patterns over the first few months of the infant's life. The majority of studies that have examined such interaction patterns have drawn on community samples rather than on depressed inpatient samples of mothers who were in a state of current depression at the time of assessment. To date, no study has investigated specific microanalytic patterns of interactive coordination between depressed German mothers and their infants using the Face-to-Face Still-Face paradigm (FFSF). The primary goal of this study was to evaluate specific patterns of dyadic coordination and the capacity for repairing states of miscoordination in an inpatient sample of postpartum currently depressed mothers and their infants as compared with a healthy control group. A sample of 28 depressed inpatient German mothers and their infants (age range = 1-8 months, M age = 4.06 months) and 34 healthy dyads (range = 1-8 months, M age = 3.89 months) were videotaped while engaging in the FFSF. A focus was placed on the play and reunion episodes. Compared with healthy dyads, dyads with depressed mothers showed less coordination of positive matched states and longer latencies when repairing interactive mismatching states into positive matched states. Clinical implications are discussed.
