"The guiding initiative behind this book was to take the most current research in the field on the therapy relationship and apply it to a specific clinical context, that of psychotherapy for pregnancy loss. This notion was born from over 60 years of research on the association between the therapy relationship and treatment outcome (Norcross & Lambert, 2019) and the author's clinical experiences conducting weekly outpatient psychotherapy with both individuals and couples struggling to come to terms with the loss of a pregnancy or unborn baby. During which, a supportive and understanding relationship is often all one truly has to offer a grieving parent. Consistent with this, this book maps out an approach to psychotherapy for pregnancy loss wherein it is not the therapist's theoretical orientation or specific techniques per say that are believed to predict treatment outcome, but a focus on the relationship and the functions (e.g., affect regulation, self-esteem maintenance, empathy, support) it provides grieving parents"--

Population growth and global health disparities for many reproductive and perinatal outcomes are but a few of the pressing issues facing public health today. Despite growing interest in the field, formal training in reproductive and perinatal epidemiology remains limited, with few available textbooks aimed at providing an overview of the field. In response to this need, faculty from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health & Human Development (NICHD) and CIHR's Institute of Human Development, Child and Youth Health (IHDCYH) developed an intensive, competitive, Summer Institute in Reproductive and Perinatal Epidemiology. The curriculum of this Summer Institute has been developed into a textbook to provide students and researchers with a working knowledge of the substantive and methodologic issues underlying reproductive and perinatal epidemiology. Reproductive and Perinatal Epidemiology offers a core curriculum that addresses the epidemiology of major reproductive and perinatal outcomes. From human fecundity to birth and neonatal outcomes, the subject is approached from as international a perspective as possible, and the unique methodologic issues underlying each outcome are discussed. Developed by leading researchers in collaboration with their students in response to their needs and concerns, this is the definitive textbook on the subject.

An introduction to pathophysiology specifically tailored to the needs of midwives Professional standards of proficiency require that midwives develop a robust understanding of pathophysiology, the study of disordered physical processes including disease and injury. This dedicated text equips both aspiring and registered midwives with the foundational understanding of pathophysiology required to deliver the best patient care. An understanding of pathophysiology is paramount for the delivery of safe and effective care during the various stages of pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum recovery. This understanding provides midwives with the insight to recognise and respond promptly to complications, fostering optimal outcomes for the mother and the newborn. Early recognition is pivotal, allowing for timely interventions that can significantly influence maternal and fetal well-being. A holistic approach to care is the cornerstone of midwifery and an understanding of pathophysiology allows midwives to consider the physical, emotional and social aspects of a woman’s health. This holistic perspective contributes to a more comprehensive and person-centred model of care. This user-friendly introduction is not only a foundational text but also a practical resource for practicing midwives. Informed by the latest research and reflective of current best practices, this book stands as an indispensable tool for this indispensable profession. Tailored for both undergraduate and graduate midwifery students, as well as registered midwives returning to practice, this resource is an invaluable asset in advancing pathophysiological knowledge within midwifery practice.
