Psychické potíže v těhotenství a po porodu – Wenzel Amy (2025)

Pregnancy and the postpartum period are usually considered a time of happiness and joy; rarely do we associate it with mental health issues such as depression and anxiety, which many women often face during these life stages. Amy Wenzel and Karen Kleiman, experts in perinatal psychology, present one possible effective and flexible approach in psychotherapeutic work with this group of women: cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). The text provides clear and useful information that can help doctors and psychotherapists successfully integrate the structure and procedures of CBT into a supportive approach when working with clients before and after childbirth. It also debunks myths about this psychotherapeutic method, which is often mistakenly labeled as rigid or superficial.
