"""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"
