“…Two small studies, each with methodological limitations, specifically on perinatal depression found that women in person-centred therapy appeared to have better outcomes than the control women (Holden et al, 1989) and that person-centred counselling appeared to be better than treatment as usual (Wickberg and Hwang, 1996). A slightly larger study found that there was a reduction in the EPDS score at 18 weeks among women allocated to either a nondirective counseling (NDC), cognitive behavioural therapy, or dynamic psychotherapy (DPT) group, but there were higher dropout rates in the NDC and DPT groups .…”

Aim: This paper aims to describe the training preparation for health visitors who took part in the intervention arm of a cluster randomised controlled trial and economic evaluation of training for health visitors -the POstNatal Depression Economic evaluation and Randomised (the PoNDER) trial. A secondary aim is to make available, by electronic links, the training manuals developed for and used for the cognitive behavioural approach (CBA) and the person-centred approach (PCA) training for the health visitors. The paper is of relevance to health visitors, general practitioners, nurse practitioners, midwives, clinical psychologists, mental health nurses, community psychiatric nurses, counsellors, and service commissioners. Background: The trial clinical outcomes have been published, indicating the pragmatic effectiveness of the package of training for health visitors to identify depressive symptoms and provide a psychologically informed intervention. The training was associated with a reduction in depressive symptoms at six months postnatally among intervention group women and some evidence of a benefit for the intervention group for some of the secondary outcomes at 18 months follow-up. Methods:The two experimental interventions examined in the PoNDER trial built upon promising work on the potential for psychological interventions to help women recover from postnatal depression as an alternative to pharmaceutical interventions and to address the limitations of previous research in the area. Findings: The package of health visitor training comprised the development of clinical skills in assessing postnatal women and identifying depressive symptoms, and the delivery of a CBA or a PCA for eligible women. This was the largest trial a health visitor intervention and of postnatal depression ever RESEARCH conducted. We are aware of no other rigorously performed trial that has published details of an extensively tested training programme for the benefit of health-care professionals and clients.

“…(3,12). Tidlig identifisering av mødre med symptomer på nedstemthet og fødselsdepresjon kombinert med et oppfølgingsprogram i form av støttesamtaler har vist seg å ha positiv effekt på kvinnens depresjonssymptomer (13,14) OSS i Glåmdal I det følgende beskriver vi hvordan arbeidet med innføring av EPDS og støttesamtaler i helsestasjonene er gjort systematisk under oppbygging av et modelldistrikt, OSS i Glåmdal, i perioden [2007][2008][2009].

Background: Postpartum depression is seen in approximately 13% of women who have recently given birth; unfortunately, it often remains untreated. Important causes for undertreatment of this disorder are providers' and patients' lack of information about the effectiveness of various treatments, and their concerns about the impact of treatment on nursing infants. This article presents research-based evidence on the benefits of various treatments for postpartum depression and their potential risks to nursing infants.Methods: The medical literature on postpartum depression treatment was reviewed by searching MEDLINE and Current Contents using such key terms as "postpartum depression," "treatment," "therapy," "psychotherapy," and "breastfeeding.
