Product Description
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.

Brilliant November 8, 2008
Having benefitted from Kleiman's brilliance personally I feel obliged to entice everyone to learn from her. Kleiman's sincere and thoughtful way of treating her clients is brilliantly portrayed in this book. Any therapist treating postpartum women without reading this book is doing a disservice to her/his client.

An invaluable contribution to the field September 9, 2008

2 out of 2 found this review helpful

As a psychiatrist who specializes in working with pregnant and postpartum women, I found this book to be an invaluable resource. Karen Kleiman's expertise resounds brilliantly throughout this immensely useful book. It not only reflects well upon Karen's scholarly and academic pursuit of guiding how best to alleviate suffering for the postpartum woman but it also is written in a straightforward and thoughtful manner that parallels Karen's compassion and warmth for the affected new mother. I recommend this book highly to all clinicians working in this field.
