He talked a bit about parental care being particularly important, and that there's a different outcome for kids with predominantly peer-driven development. I was kind of distracted during that segment, though, so I'm not sure about the details.
As for quality versus quantity, I think he's arguing for quality. He talked a lot about stress (one of his books focuses on it), and seemed to be saying that there tends to be more stress in a home environment where both parents are working. He also talked about home stress situations like his early childhood under Nazi occupation, which he attributes as a large factor in his own addictive behavior (workaholism). And growing up in a situation where neither parent has a job can also be stressful...
I'm not sure what his maternity leave evidence is (Democracy Now often doesn't focus on citation), but he said that a lot of countries without a strong working mother culture have lower incidences of these disorders. I'm not sure if he's compared, say, the U.S. to Norway where the government gives new moms two years of support.
