Abstract
The Parental Bonding Instrument was translated into Spanish and admini stered to a sample of 205 Spanish primiparae 3 days after childbirth. Reliability, factorial structure and predictive validity for affective disorders were evaluated. The Spanish version of the PBI has psychome tric features similar to those described in other cultures. However, t he results suggest that in future research the predictive power of the ''Control'' factor in affective disorders might be improved by splitt ing it into two subfactors: ''Overprotection'' and ''Restraint''.
