Guilford Press, 1 de jul. de 1999 - 322 páginas
One in ten women suffers from an episode of significant depression following the birth of a baby. These depressions can have a profoundly negative effect on the quality of the mother-infant relationship, and in turn, on the course of child development itself. The book should be of interest to professionals concerned with the impact of parental psychiatric disorder on parenting and child development, including psychologists, psychiatrists, pediatricians, and social workers as well as students in these areas.
