Special Babies with Dr Louise Newman:
Perinatal Mental Health after Traumatic Conception
Recorded 5th July 2021
Trauma around conception, pregnancy and birth can be a significant impact on the parent's capacity to acknowledge and accept the reality of the infant and understand their emotional needs. This discussion will outline the variety of situations encountered in clinical practice where the representation of the infant and early attachment can be distorted by the circumstances and conflicts in becoming a parent.
Parent-Infant Therapy for Transgenerational Trauma
Recorded in August 2020, $55 AUD.
Psychiatrist Louise Newman presents on Parent-Infant Therapy for Relational Trauma. Transgenerational attachment themes form a crucial part of the assessment of parent-infant psychodynamics. This approach to parent infant intervention focuses on supporting the parent in reflecting on their own early experiences and developing ideas about change and their wishes for a different form of relating with their own infant.
Perinatal Anxiety
Recorded September 2021
Anxiety in the perinatal period is common and ranges from normative levels of concerns associated with adaptation to pregnancy and transition to parenthood, to severe and disabling anxieties which may disrupt this important transition and contribute to chronic stress and depression. Fears can relate to forthcoming parenthood, the reality of childbirth and infant care as well as the intrusive and disturbing thoughts seen in Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.
