Make Room For Baby by Kristin Morgan released on Apr 24, 1995 is available now for purchase.

This state-of-the-art clinician's guide describes Perinatal Child–Parent Psychotherapy (P-CPP), a treatment for pregnant women and their partners whose readiness to nurture a baby is compromised by traumatic stress and adverse life experiences. P-CPP, an application to pregnancy of the widely disseminated, evidence-based Child–Parent Psychotherapy, spans the prenatal period through the first 6 months of life. Extended cases illustrate ways to help mothers and fathers understand how trauma has affected them, navigate the physical and emotional challenges of becoming parents, build essential caregiving competencies, and ensure the safety of their babies and themselves. Cultural considerations in working with diverse families are addressed through specific intervention examples.

NEW ARRIVALS Nursery Needed—Pronto! It was impulsive, romantic, exciting…and Tad McFarlane would do it all again…and again. Marrying Abby Kildaire after a whirlwind weekend was the best thing he'd ever done. Now, if he could only convince her of that fact. Crash Course For New Mommy And Daddy Tad's charm and sincerity, not to mention his fabulous kisses, were hard to resist, Abby had to admit. But while their chemistry was like steam heat, they hadn't gotten around to working out the practical details of their marriage. And there was no way to hit the brakes now—not when they had to make room for baby!

Using fathers' first-hand accounts from letters, journals, and personal interviews along with hospital records and medical literature, Judith Walzer Leavitt offers a new perspective on the changing role of expectant fathers from the 1940s to the 1980s. She shows how, as men moved first from the hospital waiting room to the labor room in the 1960s, and then on to the delivery and birthing rooms in the 1970s and 1980s, they became progressively more involved in the birth experience and their influence over events expanded. With careful attention to power and privilege, Leavitt charts not only the increasing involvement of fathers, but also medical inequalities, the impact of race and class, and the evolution of hospital policies. Illustrated with more than seventy images from TV, films, and magazines, this book provides important new insights into childbirth in modern America, even as it reminds readers of their own experiences.
