ABSTRACT
This book has been a compilation of research, clinical practice, and survivor response. Its purpose is to raise the level of awareness of health care practitioners with regard to assessment and identification of women who are living with posttraumatic stress related to birth trauma. We have presented the women's narratives, the qualitative data, the clinician's response, and the mother's response (a survivor of PTSD). Our hope is that you will want to learn more as the research continues to present itself in the literature and women continue to speak their voices.
