“In Beyond the Blues, clinical psychologist Bennett and family therapist Indman offer a compact yet surprisingly comprehensive manual on prenatal and postpartum depression. Taking a readable and practical approach, they systematically address screening and assessment, finding a therapist, myths about nursing and bonding, and treatment. Especially interesting and helpful are suggestions for family and friends and tips on "what to say, what not to say." For health professionals, there are ideas about what to emphasize to patients, as well as detailed diagnostic and treatment information. The antidepressant Q&A section is excellent. Beyond the Blues is a quick read with an easy-to-handle format.— Library Journal
