Effectiveness
• Avg effects of psychotherapy are widely accepted to be significant and large (e.g., Chorpita et al., 2011; Smith, Glass, & Miller, 1980).
• Variations in outcomes are heavily influenced by patient characteristics, clinician and context factors rather than by particular diagnoses
(e.g., Beutler, 2009; Beutler & Malik, 2002; Wampold, 2001)
• Prevention (e.g., depressive relapse Dimidjian et al., 2016)

“While women clearly need interventions tailored for pregnancy and subsequent relationships with their infant, there seems to be no reason to assume that treatments which are effective at other times in a woman’s life would not be effective in the perinatal period.”
(Howard & Khalifeh, 2020)

A Systematic Review & Meta-Analysis: Interventions for Mental Disorders in Pregnancy
“This meta-analysis founda robust moderate treatment effect of CBT for MDD during
pregnancy, and to a lesser extent for IPT.”

Systematic Review: Treatments for Perinatal Mental Health
• 78 studies focused on the treatment of depression, anxiety, and trauma-related disorders
• Majority of studies on perinatal depression (n = 73)
• Most studied treatment was CBT (n = 22) followed by IPT (n= 13)
Nillni et al. (2018)
“There is a tremendous need for more studies focused on treatment of perinatal anxiety and trauma-related disorders. ”

IPT for Perinatal Women
Highlights from Systematic Review: •Psychological symptoms and interpersonal problems are common in perinatal women.•IPT is an effective preventive intervention for perinatal depression.•IPT is an effective treatment for perinatal depression and anxiety.•IPT also improves interpersonal functioning in this population.•Further studies are needed to assess whether adaptations increase IPT's efficacy.

Consideration of Trauma
“There are effective psychotherapeutic interventions to treat depression during pregnancy and postpartum, yet there is a paucity of literature on the impact of CT on
treatment outcomes.”
Results suggest that IPT-based interventions are beneficial for women with CT. The evidence regarding CBT-based interventions is less conclusive.
