Published online by Cambridge University Press: 08 February 2018
Extract
The Anglo-American literature relevant to psychiatry and obstetrics reveals studies of the puerperal psychoses (Tetlow, 1955); papers describing the psychological reactions experienced during pregnancy and labour (Tobin, 1957; Kartchner, 1950) and retrospective studies of patients presenting with obstetric abnormalities of pregnancy and labour (Coppen, 1958; Caldwell, 1958; Cramond, 1954). The present paper describes the psychiatric and obstetric follow-up of a group of neurotic pregnant women, a study of similar material not being previously recorded in the literature.
