Abstract
Advances in fetal monitoring and research linking events in utero with subsequent fetal morbidity are elucidating the effects of maternal behavior on fetal well‐being. Progress in these areas will generate medical and legal questions about the physicians' role in detecting and managing maternal behavior that threatens fetal well‐being. These issues are considered in reference to a pregnant 34‐year‐old woman who was repeatedly admitted in an intoxicated state. 1982 American Orthopsychiatric Association
