Summary
This study looked at how pregnant women with past trauma experience therapy and how it might affect their bond with their baby. About 20 women and 7 therapists shared their experiences through interviews and questionnaires. The goal was to learn what helps or hinders change, so therapy can be better tailored for high-risk families.
