was one of the most valuable workshops that I have ever
attended. It provided practical stra- tegies that I will
use in my clinical work daily. The presenters' up-to-date
knowledge and compas- sion made for a workshop that was
both informative and engaging."

"For
the first time I've met two clinicians who "get it".
This course helped me greatly in the work I do in the
Pregnancy and Depression study. I enjoyed the course very
much and have recommended it to therapists I know. You
are doing wonderful work."

"Perinatal
Mood Disorders is by far the most useful continuing education
seminar I have ever attended. This workshop is a must
for those working with women in any type of helping capacity.
At the end of the workshop you will feel prepared to assess
and treat this so often undiagnosed disorder. Pec and
Shoshana are experts, making the seminar both extremely
educational and fun. I could not recommend this course
more highly!"
