Rezensionen

"This wonderfully written and informative book will undoubtedly provide new parents with much needed information and reassurance." - Nichole Fairbrother, PhD, RPsych, clinical associate professor, Department of Psychiatry, University of British Columbia

"In Dropping the Baby and Other Scary Thoughts, Karen Kleiman and Amy Wenzel shine a light on something that virtually all new parents experience but are afraid to talk about: unwanted thoughts. Their revised edition does an even more thorough job of explaining this fascinating (yet scary) reality, and what you can do if scary thoughts have become a problem. This is simply a must read for all new parents." - Jonathan S.

Abramowitz, PhD, professor, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill; author of Getting Over OCD: A 10-Step Guide for Taking Back Your Life

"Karen Kleiman and Amy Wenzel, both distinguished clinicians in the field of perinatal mental health, have teamed up with their esteemed colleagues, to address a common but frightening experience for new parents. The newly revised edition, useful to both parents and clinicians, provides clear explanation of this experience and offers practical solutions and resources. This authorship team is to be highly commended for enlightening readers about what is a common experience for many new parents, yet has remained a taboo topic." - Lisa S.
