Profession: Clinical PsychologistDr. Mark Tomlinson is at present a Senior Specialist Scientist in the Health Systems Unit at the Medical Research Council in Cape Town, South Africa. In addition, he is the T. Vlotman Fellow in Infant and Child Development at the Winnicott Research Unit at the University of Reading in Britain, and an Associate Professor Extraordinary at Stellenbosch University, South Africa. His Ph.D. was entitled “Postpartum depression, the mother-infant relationship and infant development in a South African peri-urban settlement” and was completed at the University of Reading. In addition to ongoing clinical work, Dr. Tomlinson’s research interests include the epidemiology of postpartum depression and associated disturbances in the mother-infant relationship. He has also been the research director of a randomized controlled trial that assessed the effectiveness of an early intervention program. The aim of the project was to determine the efficacy of a six-month postnatal community based mother-infant intervention on long term infant and child development in a peri-urban settlement on the outskirts of Cape Town (Khayelitsha), using paraprofessional community based therapists. Dr. Tomlinson is the president of the Western Cape Association for Infant Mental Health. This is the local South African affiliate (and only one in Africa) of WAIMH. Dr. Tomlinson is also the vice-president of the Postnatal Depression Support Association (PNDSA), an NGO that provides support for women suffering from postpartum depression.
