What Therapists Need to Know About Perinatal and Early Relational Health is a vital and timely text that will strengthen any clinician’s awareness and competence when working with children, infants, and caregivers. All the chapters are written from a framework of cultural humility to support the competent care of individuals with different intersectionalities. Cultural humility involves critical self-reflection and critique of values, beliefs, and experiences, and so each chapter provides reflective questions and tools that support clinicians' anti-oppressive practices.

What Therapists Need to Know About Perinatal and Early Relational Health offers practical strategies that are rooted in diversity-informed tenets and support reflection on our values, beliefs, and experiences. By embracing the wisdom within these pages, therapists can transform their practice into one that is more relational and heart-centered.

Meyleen Velasquez, DSW, LICSW, RPT-S™, PMH-C, IMH-E®, is an immigrant Latina psychotherapist specializing in perinatal and infant mental health through an anti-oppressive framework.
