Having a baby is a life-changing event, and can be a very stressful time. One of the best supports women have before and after childbirth is regular, sometimes daily, contact with friends and relatives. Becoming Mum is a virtual mother and baby support group on paper, to keep new mothers going until they have the energy to find a real one. This book will support new mothers, in a society where we don't always talk about how difficult childbirth and those first few months can be. It features interviews with 50 new mothers in Ireland and Irish mothers overseas, as well as some older mothers who

Quatrième de couverture : "La psychologie clinique périnatale psychanalytique occupe une place privilégiée pour relever les défis d'une clinique contemporaine riche de sa diversité. D'abord, car elle est centrée sur les mille et une variations psychologiques et psychopathologiques de la rencontre fondatrice du devenir parent et du naître humain. Ensuite, parce qu'elle est à l'oeuvre dans de multiples cadres libéraux et institutionnels indissociables des stratégies préventives en réseau. Enfin, au coeur de la rencontre interdisciplinaire, elle représente une interface fédératrice ne relevant pas d'un monopole corporatiste mais d'une construction mutuelle innovante. Ainsi, la psychologie clinique périnatale apporte simultanément des outils pertinents pour accueillir les dysharmonies relationnelles parents/embryon/foetus/bébé, les souffrances familiales, mais aussi pour engager une réflexion clinique et éthique cruciale sur les conditions d'existence d'une fonction soignante bientraitante. Jusqu'à présent, les étudiants des diverses spécialités, les professionnels du terrain en formation et les enseignants-chercheurs étaient privés d'un ouvrage générique dans ce domaine. Ce manuel, collégialement écrit par une équipe interdisciplinaire de praticiens de la périnatalité, répond à cette attente en proposant une vision critique unifiée du champ, respectueuse de la polyphonie des situations, des paradigmes et des disciplines en présence. Ce manuel s'adresse aux psychologues, (pédo)psychiatres, psychanalystes, obstétriciens, échographistes, sages-femmes, infirmières, puéricultrices, pédiatres, médecins généralistes et paramédicaux."

Motherhood, Spirituality and Culture explores spiritual skills that may assist women in changes, challenges and transformations undergone through the transition to motherhood. This study comprises rich, qualitative data gathered from interviews with 11 mothers. Results are analysed by constructing seven unique maternal narratives that elucidate and give voice to the mothers in their transition by in depth exploration of six themes emerging from the analysis. Overall discussion ranges across such realities as:• desires, expectations and illusions for mothering;• birth and spiritual embodied experiences of mothering;• instinctual knowing; identity and crisis, and connections of motherhood;• changes and transformations undergone through motherhood.This study presents a unique framework for qualitative studies of spirituality within motherhood research; by weaving together transpersonal psychology, humanistic psychology, spiritual intelligence and the spiritual maternal literature.This book will appeal to all women who have transitioned to motherhood. It willalso be of assistance to professionals who wish to approach any aspect of maternity care and support from a transpersonal perspective. It will also provideunique insights for academics and postgraduate students in the fields of anthropology, psychology, psychotherapy and feminism studies.
