Rezensionen

'Having a baby is undoubtedly one of the most powerful experiences of life. Alongside joyful emotions, it is understandable that it may lead to more upsetting ones as well, and most people are now aware of the possibility of post-natal depression. This book addresses the less discussed, but more common, impact of significant anxiety problems surrounding pregnancy, childbirth and early parenting. It lays out, with admirable clarity, the different forms this anxiety might take and provides guidance for how to deal with each of these, based on established cognitive behavioural principles. The book maintains a straightforward and compassionate approach, wearing its expertise lightly. It will be invaluable to all parents, whether it is your first child or a later one, and offers both the hope and practical advice we all need to break free from anxiety at this precious time.'
