Synopses & Reviews
Although postpartum depression affects nearly 20% of new mothers, health care professionals have tended to minimize or ignore the uniqueness of this often anxious, stressful time in a woman's life.
This book will teach you how to recognize and treat postpartum emotional disorders. Procedures for clinical assessment, psychotherapeutic interventions, and medical-psychiatric treatments are described, a case example of an integrated treatment approach is provided, and a thorough review of the literature is included as well as numerous references and resources.
