Counseling for Peripartum Depression provides counselors and other mental health professionals with a comprehensive understanding of peripartum depression (PPD) and related disorders during pregnancy and after birth. The book offers diagnostic criteria and screening tools that clinicians can use in session, and focuses on holistic wellness as well as current research on the etiology and risk factors for PPD. In particular, the simple and practical STRENGTHS model can help clinicians address various social and cultural factors related to the experience of pregnancy, giving birth, taking care of children, becoming parents, and the stigma associated with maternal mental health conditions. Using case studies and stories of women who have experienced PPD, chapters explore the individual, societal, and cultural factors associated with the development of PPD, and they also present clinicians with best practices and suggestions for preventative efforts and complementary approaches to treatment.

Reviews for Counseling for Peripartum Depression: A Strengths-Based Approach to Conceptualization and Treatment

"""Counseling for Peripartum Depression is a must read for counseling professionals. It is a well-written and addictive work on the critical topic of maternal mental health. Highly recommended!"" Shannon L. Karl, PhD, professor, Department of Counseling, Nova Southeastern University ""This is the first book that recognizes that women are at risk for depression throughout pregnancy as well as after. The text takes a multi-faceted approach to understanding the causes and treatment of this particular form of depression. It promotes a strength-based approach and addresses critical topics such as cultural issues, couple dynamics, and diagnosis. It is a resource that every clinician needs, because anyone who works with parents will certainly encounter this issue and need evidence-based, best practices to help their clients."" Mark E. Young, PhD, professor emeritus, University of Central Florida"
