Coping with Infertility, Miscarriage, and Neonatal Loss: Finding Perspective and Creating Meaning by Amy Wenzel

5.0

This is a wonderful book! I knew it would consist of quality information because it was published by the American Psychological Association and was written by a clinical psychologist who specializes in cognitive behavior therapy (my favorite style). I was very pleased to find that the author has an inviting tone and writes in a way that is easy to understand. She has coped with pregnancy loss and infertility and writes from a place of understanding and compassion. Written from a cognitive behavior perspective, the book is practical about taking steps to care for yourself to facilitate healing. More than once the author states that every person will heal differently, but provides information that everyone can use. The book is written for both partners, though does lean towards women. It was written more for couples who have experienced a pregnancy loss than for those who are coping with infertility, though couples in all of these situations could find it to be helpful. I would highly recommend this to anyone who is coping with reproductive loss.
