They have co-written a book together on postpartum problem-focused psychodynamic psychotherapy, and it is good to have both of you in the room.
Allison, why don't you introduce yourself really may, may, maybe a little bit, just how you're interested in this topic, your background, and then Frederick, I'll have you do that as well.
So, um, like you mentioned, I'm both a psychoanalyst and a reproductive psychiatrist.
And so I'm really lucky to be able to, you know, combine the two of those specialties and really think about how they can complement each other.
I'm also the acting director of the Aaron Stern, MD, PhD program in psychodynamic psychiatry, and that also has a focus on using psychodynamic concepts, um, across all medical specialties, so not just with psychiatrists.
So this is sort of one out- sort of outposting of that in the sort of OBGYN reproductive psychiatry territory.
