* The New Parent: A Spectrum of Postpartum Adjustment
1988, 1.00p
ICPP12
Describes the emotions associated with normal transition to parenthood,
postpartum depression and postpartum psychosis. It informs and reassures new
parents and describes the more serious postpartum adjustment syndromes and
what kind of help is beneficial.
I haven't reviewed it personally. You might try ICEA's Bookmark catalog. You
can view it online or order a print copy.

I recently found a terrific PPD handout. It is the form of a contract that
the Mom signs with her partner so that both folks are clued into the risk
factors and symptoms of "baby blues", PPD and PP Psychosis. Find it here:

I have the 2002 print catalogue for Childbirth Graphics and on page 37 there's an item called "Postpartum Depression Tear Pad" which says it defines PPD, lists symptoms, dispels myths and addresses treatment options. English on one side, Spanish on the other. 8-1/2 x 11, 100 sheets per pad. $14.95 per pad, or $14.45 per pad for 5 or more. Item number is PE52540.
Hope this helps,

Something I use in my class is a postpartum contract developed by
epregnancy.com. The url is: http://192.41.47.224/ppdpromise.pdf. I
really like this because, by signing it ahead of time, it makes moms
and dads to be think about postpartum issues before they get there.

Contact Sheryl Cozad at [log in to unmask] She heads up Postpartum Support
Internaional on the local basis. This is a mother-to-mother warmline (phone
support.) She lives in Norman. Also, the website for PSI is
www.postpartum.net.
Sheryl invited me to be on a panel this morning for a National Alliance for
Mental Illness conference here in the City. The panel addressed postpartum
disorders. Timely since the Andrea Yates trial. Sheryl believes in the
doula role as helping to ward off postpartum disorders. I spread the doula
word to more people!
