Modern Management of Perinatal Psychiatric Disorders Summary

Modern Management of Perinatal Psychiatric Disorders by Carol Henshaw

The management of mental health problems is a core component of maternity care. Pregnancy and childbirth may be accompanied by recurrence of pre-existing psychiatric problems, and conditions such as postnatal depression and puerperal psychosis may arise following delivery. Correct management of these problems is essential for both the mother and the developing infant.

This book provides a comprehensive overview of mental health problems associated with pregnancy and the year after delivery. Key topics covered include:

  • Issues for children and families.
  • Screening for and prevention of mental disorders in relation to childbirth.
  • Prescribing in pregnancy and lactation.
  • Transcultural issues.

Readership: An essential text for trainees in perinatal psychiatry, this book is also aimed at general adult psychiatrists with an interest in the field. It is also a useful resource for nurses, psychologists, obstetricians, midwives and health visitors.

Modern Management of Perinatal Psychiatric Disorders Reviews

"The authors successfully bridge science and practice, and ... do not merely highlight problems. Rather they also provide specific means for addressing these issues through clear and feasible recommendations. ...Overall, this book provides an integrative approach that will appeal to researchers and clinicians alike. ...This book is an important and substantial addition to the field of perinatal psychiatry. Perinatal mental health is examined from every angle to help practitioners provide the best and appropriately specialized care for women surrounding childbirth."
