guidance for health care professionals on the controversies
surrounding screening for perinatal depression and on good practice
in the use of screening tools. International contributors, with

the available screening methods, and investigate women's
perceptions of the usefulness of screening. Ethnic minority
experiences and screening programs in developing countries are also
considered.' - Book News 'The book considers a variety of issues
and identifies agreement in ideas and continuing debates. Whether
the reader is concerned with women's views of screening, the role
of the midwife, screening in the US, Australia or developing
countries, screening of women with serious mental illness, Black
Caribbean women's views of screening, health visitor intuition and
much more, there is something here for them. Each chapter, often
drawing on the author's own work, stands on its own. Tutors,
researchers, practitioners and students should be able to use the
relevant parts to challenge their thinking, reflect on their
practice and ask yet more questions about this significant
subject.' - Community Practitioner Screening for perinatal
