Therapy and the Postpartum Woman

Notes on Healing Postpartum Depression for Clinicians and the Women Who Seek their Help

Beschreibung

This book provides a comprehensive look at effective therapy for postpartum depression. Using a blend of professional objectivity, evidence-based research, and personal, straight-forward suggestions gathered from years of experience, this book brings the reader into the private world of therapy with the postpartum woman. Based on Psychodynamic and Cognitive-Behavioral theories, and on D.W. Winnicott's "good-enough mother" and the "holding environment" in particular, the book is written by a therapist who has specialized in the treatment of postpartum depression for over 20 years. Therapy and the Postpartum Woman will serve as a companion tool for clinicians and the women they treat.

"Karen Kleiman brings to light the unique clinical and social context of the postpartum woman seeking therapy. Karen adeptly encapsulates the practical aspects of working with postpartum women. She highlights the importance of clinician qualities of warmth, compassion and empathic confidence for establishing a strong therapeutic relationship and a supportive 'holding environment' for the new mother."
