This bookprovides 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.

Karen Kleiman brings to light the unique clinical and social context of the postpartum woman seeking therapy. Karen adeptly encapsulates the practical aspects of working with postpartum women. She highlights the importance of clinician qualities of warmth, compassion and empathic confidence for establishing a strong therapeutic relationship and a supportive 'holding environment' for the new mother.

An invaluable resource for mental health professionals, clinicians and the individuals they treat...

This book goes the distance. Well researched, respectable, and clearly based on years of hands-on practice with this population. It reads like a thoroughly cited journal article, yet is enjoyable and holds attention. Not dry by any means. It is clear that the author cares deeply about women and families who experience postpartum difficulties. A book that is a worthy addition to any clinician's library regardless of specialty population or theoretical leanings.

This is---in my not-so-humble opinion---THE authoritative guide for the Postpartum Clinician. If you are treating women with PPMD, you MUST have this in your library.

Kleiman continues to share her expertise

Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2008

Karen Kleiman, MSW, continues to offer her insight and expertise to guide women and families struggling with perinatal mood disorders to the most effective help/resources. In Therapy and the Postpartum Woman, Kleiman answers important questions that often remain unasked when postpartum consumers seek therapeutic services - often for the first time. And for clinicians motivated to expand their specialty commitment to this population, the book is rich with clinical information and the most effective approaches to help clients feel heard and achieve recovery.

Kleiman's own commitment to postpartum women, which has endured over many years and resulted in the formation of the Postpartum Stress Center, has now brought us another excellent and timely publication. For as we begin to do a better job of identifying and assessing women suffering with pregnancy related mood disorders,treatment approaches must keep pace to maximize women's recovery options. The value of Kleimans book at this educational, legislative, awareness and prosocial juncture cannot be overestimated.

Reviewed in the United States on October 14, 2008

This book is a must have for any therapist or health care professional currently working with postpartum women or who plans to work with postpartum women in the future. Her writing is impeccable and she transcends the emotions that dance through the room during a therapy session.

Karen is an amazing professional and her dedication to the field can be seen throughout the book. For anyone seeking information for postpartum depression, this book provides a realistic view of the women who experience postpartum and the women who help them.

For those seeking support for postpartum depression, this book provides facts, information and resources, as well as demystifies the therapeutic process. I think women will appreciate her honesty and understand the importance of seeking appropriate support in order to feel better.

Thank you Karen for continuing to train professionals, educate women and share your wisdom.
