"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."
