Since the terrorist attacks of September 11th, the American Psychological Association has devoted itself to teaching about the concept of “resilience.” Attention is now being paid to recovery not only from disasters, but from set backs and adversities in ordinary life. Research has shown how the ability to be “hardy” or to “bounce back” can be essential to one’s health and longevity. Our book is based on the concept that there are basically three potential crises in life:
1. “I shouldn’t have done that”
2. “You shouldn’t have done that (to me)”
3. “Life shouldn’t have done that (to me)”


After the Stork
by Sara Rosenquist, PhD, ABPP

I wrote After the Stork to help people understand that depression in general and postpartum depression in particular is very complex--fully as much a function of habits of thought and habits of relating as it is biological. In fact, what we call biological depression is caused by sneaky, sneaky habits of thought and habits of relating that set us up for depression when any major life event comes along.  And having a baby, whether by birth or adoption, is a major life event, and in fact, just as many adoptive mothers as birth mothers and almost as many dads are at risk. Correcting those habits of thought and habits of relating before baby arrives can help new parents prevent depression from happening and get the right treatment when prevention isn't possible.
