商品簡介
Having suffered a miscarriage while writing this book, Wenzel (U. of Pennsylvania School of Medicine) empathizes with pregnant women's anxiety. She distinguishes between normal anxiety experienced by mothers to-be and clinical anxiety disorders that women either bring into, or experience for the first time, in pregnancy and the postpartum period. Drawing on research and a biopsychosocial model, she discusses the prevalence of perinatal anxiety, symptoms, sociodemographic and psychological correlates, warning signs, co-morbidity with depression, measures used to assess specific disorders, and management options. Resiliency can result from successfully dealing with these issues. The book includes case examples and self-help resources. Annotation c2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
