    Even with all of his talk about his father's job, most of Holden's nervous ticks and character traits seem to come from his mother.

Pelcovitz argues that children of mothers who worked full time when they were small infants had some negative developmental effects when they got older, including difficult behavior adjustments and lower cognitive abilities.
