Women's Reproductive Mental Health

August 26, 2022

Dr. Laura Roberts is joined by Lucy Hutner MD and Lauren Osborne, MD, two of the editorial group who developed The Textbook of Women's Reproductive Mental Health (2022) written along with 60 contributing authors. As is touched upon in the episode, it is unbelievable that this is not a reissue or a new edition, but a pioneering, flag-on-the-moon, brand-new title. Especially timely given recent decisions made by the Supreme Court, this book is an invaluable textbook on this fundamental topic.
