More about the book
Challenging the notion of the 'happy mother,' this book offers a feminist psychological analysis of post-natal depression, reframing it as a natural response to the losses experienced after childbirth. Paula Nicolson critiques conventional medical and social science narratives, arguing that the feelings associated with post-natal depression are not pathological but rather a normal part of women's experiences during this transformative period.
