A 'must-have' book for all pre- & peripartum professionals,
By Kim Richardson "Postpartum Counselor and Moth... (Michigan, United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Beyond The Blues: Prenatal and Postpartum Depression, A Treatment Manual (Paperback)
I highly recommend this book to pregnant families and all professionals, not only those who specialize in treating postpartum reactions. All ob-gyn's, doctors, lactation consultants, birth teachers, doulas and pediatricians should own and keep referring to this very accessible and accurate book. Perhaps more women (and their infants and families) who suffer in confusion behind closed doors, would be identified early and referred to a skilled professional for something that is so treatable, but too seldom treated.As a psychotherapist treating women presenting with postpartum reactions, I have referred to the information in this book over and over. Drs Indman and Bennett are two reliable sources who have checked all their facts while intelligently turning this very complex topic into something so clear and understandable. Most useful to me, are the treatment protocols at the back of the book. A look of relief washes over a pregnant client's face when, together we have identified her risk factors, and chosen a course of treatment that follows these detailed protocols. For women who find it so difficult to be vulnerable, or accept help or care, there is something very reassuring and validating in knowing that the psychotherapy we embark on is necessarily "prescribed" for her, and will give her the best chance of preventing or working through her depression or/and anxiety.

A wonderful resource,
By Maggie Muir, LMFT, IBCLC (Santa Cruz, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Beyond The Blues: Prenatal and Postpartum Depression, A Treatment Manual (Paperback)
"Beyond the Blues" is a wonderful resource. After discovering the book, I immediately ordered several more copies to share with counseling and lactation colleagues and with families in my practice. Everyone loves it! It is clearly written and easy to read with helpful information readily accessible. It is also written with compassion and filled with practical wisdom.This book is an invaluable resource for mothers experiencing prenatal or postpartum distress, family members and all the professionals that work with new families: OB's, midwives and pediatricians, childbirth educators, doulas and lactation consultants. Thank you Drs. Indman and Bennett for your valuable contribution.

This review is from: Beyond The Blues: Prenatal and Postpartum Depression, A Treatment Manual (Paperback)
This book is a shining light for the diagnosis and treatment of Post Partum Depression. It is written both for the professional and for families. Without the usual padding, the book is clear and to the point, and easily understood. What makes it a treat is the authors' passion underlying the information. This book is an important contribution to the rapidly growing interest in PPD, as well as to every family with a new mom.
