In this new volume she expands upon her knowledge of the complexities and interrelationships that exist in the field of maternal depression.

She has achieved this goal through a systematic framework that will help you understand the topic and how to communicate effectively with postpartum mothers.

Each chapter contains summaries of thought-provoking international research studies. The information in this reader-friendly resource can add a vital perspective to advance the way health professionals today—and the health professionals of tomorrow—view and treat postpartum depression.
