An invaluable contribution to the field September 9, 2008
This book will not only prove invaluable for clinicians at all levels of experience, but it will also demystify postpartum depression and its treatment for the women and the families of those women who are suffering. While providing a thorough and informative overview of the condition, Karen speaks directly to the heart and emotion that surround this topic. Kleiman's gift for writing and expertise in the field is evident in her abilitly to mesh an abundance of research and critical statistics with her 20+ years of experience in this heartfelt and enjoyable read!

As a psychiatrist who specializes in working with pregnant and postpartum women, I found this book to be an invaluable resource. Karen Kleiman's expertise resounds brilliantly throughout this immensely useful book. It not only reflects well upon Karen's scholarly and academic pursuit of guiding how best to alleviate suffering for the postpartum woman but it also is written in a straightforward and thoughtful manner that parallels Karen's compassion and warmth for the affected new mother. I recommend this book highly to all clinicians working in this field.

Having had a friend suffer from post partum depression many years ago, I wish that Karen's book had been available for both her and me. It is wonderful to know that there are so many resources available for women who suffer from this syndrome, and Karen's book covers those resources for both the therapist and the patient so very thoroughly.

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.
