A sexually dimorphic hypothalamic circuit controls maternal care and oxytocin secretion
It is commonly assumed, but has rarely been demonstrated, that sex differences in behaviour arise from sexual dimorphism in the underlying neural circuits. Parental care is a complex stereotypic behaviour towards offspring that is shared by numerous species. Mice display profound sex differences in offspring-directed behaviours. At their first encounter, virgin females behave maternally towards alien pups while males will usually ignore the pups or attack them. Here we show that tyrosine hydroxylase (TH)-expressing neurons in the anteroventral periventricular nucleus (AVPV) of the mouse hypothalamus are more numerous in mothers than in virgin females and males, and govern parental behaviours in a sex-specific manner. In females, ablating the AVPV TH(+) neurons impairs maternal behaviour whereas optogenetic stimulation or increased TH expression in these cells enhance maternal care. In males, however, this same neuronal cluster has no effect on parental care but rather suppresses inter-male aggression. Furthermore, optogenetic activation or increased TH expression in the AVPV TH(+) neurons of female mice increases circulating oxytocin, whereas their ablation reduces oxytocin levels. Finally, we show that AVPV TH(+) neurons relay a monosynaptic input to oxytocin-expressing neurons in the paraventricular nucleus. Our findings uncover a previously unknown role for this neuronal population in the control of maternal care and oxytocin secretion, and provide evidence for a causal relationship between sexual dimorphism in the adult brain and sex differences in parental behaviour.

In Service to Maternal Love: Madame de Sévigné's Household
In early modern society, distinction between family and household was not clearly defined. Servants ran the sphere of manual work, but they also participated in the emotional realm within the household. A look at Madame de Sévigné’s household is necessary to understand how the servants of a Seventeenth-Century aristocrat performed their emotional task as they insert themselves into their mistress’s intimate connection with her daughter, the Comtesse de Grignan. To cultivate her good graces, they became emotionally involved in the mother-daughter passionate relationship and played an unconventional part in their mistress’s life as recipients of her emotions. The representation of Madame de Sévigné’s interactions with her servants suggests that they allow her to involve them in her life, and she uses them to assert control over the life of her daughter in order to live vicariously through her, which is one of the topoi in the letters. Servants relinquish their emotions to the marquise in an echo to Discours de la servitude volontaire by Étienne de La Boétie, who suggested that people voluntarily submit to an authority, in our case the maternal authority. They are brought into the narrative of the letters when they participate in their mistress’s endless quest for self-definition as a mother.

Interpersonal Problems as Mediator Between Parental Rearing Styles and Internalizing-Externalizing Problems in Adolescents
The mental health of youth is considered a big challenge in recent years for mental health professionals. Adolescents are known to have an increased prevalence of internalizing-externalizing problems that lead to adverse social, academic, and personal outcomes. This research is investigating the role of interpersonal problems as the mediator in the association of parental warmth and rejection with internalizing-externalizing problems in 732 adolescents (girls = 49%, boys = 51%) recruited through multistage sampling technique. Measures included Egna Minnen Betraffande Uppostran for Children (EMBU-C) (Saleem, Mahmood, & Subhan, 2015), the Youth version of the Child Behavior Checklist (Achenbach & Rescorla, 2001), and the Interpersonal Difficulties Scale (Zahra & Saleem, 2020). Correlation analysis confirmed the significant association among parental warmth, parental rejection, internalizing-externalizing problems, and interpersonal problems. Findings of mediation analysis revealed that parental warmth and parental rejection have effects on internalizing-externalizing problems via interpersonal problems. Implications are discussed in terms of the counseling of adolescents.

Love, attachment and effacement: Romantic dimensions in Sylvia Plath's children poems
This article examines seventeen children poems by Sylvia Plath written in the years 1960-63, in relation to the poetics of romantic love. Drawing on motherhood studies (Klein, 1975; O'Reilly, 2010; Rich, 1976; Winnicott, 1956, 1965, 1967), the maternal shift in psychoanalysis (see Bueskens, 2014: 3-6), and attachment theory (Bowlby, 1950, 1969, 1988), it reads love as a continuous human disposition, informed by one's attachment history, and realized at different stages of one's life (Hazan & Shaver, 1987). It specifically refers to Daniel Stern's and Anthony Giddens's largely overlapping concepts of maternal and romantic love to argue that Plath's children poems are significantly infused with a poetics of romantic love. This poetics, however, becomes gradually compromised by a poetics of ambivalence, withdrawal, and self-effacement.
