New Studies on PTSD:

"Mothers' Experiences of EMDR treatment for their Traumatic Childbirth"

In order to help clinicians to provide better care to mothers who have experienced a traumatic childbirth Cheryl Beck (Professor at the University of Connecticut) and Sue Watson (Chairperson of TABS) are now conducting a research study on this topic. Women who have had Eye Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) treatment are invited to participate in this research study. . . .
Just like Professor Beck's previous studies on birth trauma and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after childbirth, this study will be conducted over the Internet. Mothers will be asked to describe their experiences with EMDR treatment.

"Traumatic Pregnancy and/or Childbirth: The Fathers' Perspective"

In order to help health care professionals provide better care to fathers who are with their partners at the time of a traumatic pregnancy and/or childbirth, Cheryl Beck (Professor at the University of Connecticut) and Sue Watson (Chairperson of TABS) are now conducting a research study on this topic. Men who have been present during a traumatic pregnancy and/or childbirth involving their partner are invited to participate in this research study . . .
Just like Professor Beck's previous studies on birth trauma and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after childbirth, this study will be conducted over the Internet. Fathers who were with their partners at the time of their traumatic pregnancy and/or childbirth will be asked to describe their experiences.
