Birth Psychology: The Association for Prenatal and Perinatal Psychology and Health
I do not see anything directed specifically toward new mothers who experience depression or worse as a result of PTSD related issues? This is a desperately needed area for advocacy, education, support and a near-future prevention model of care. Please check out my URL to see what is lacking in testing and interventionary methods – then, I’d be interested in your take on this area of concern for so many women – before and after giving birth.
Thank you, Darlene. I see you offer resources at http://alwaysamother.tripod.com. We will be posting further research and information on this topic before long.
