The pregnant psychotherapist in training: some preliminary findings and impressions
OE Baum and C Herring
With more women entering general medical and psychiatric training, the more
that supervisors and staff can understand the impact of the resident's
pregnancy on the resident and others, the more helpful they can be to her
and she to herself. The authors' work was done at what was formerly the
Woman's Medical College of Pennsylvania, which has had a larger percent of
women in psychiatric training than most programs. This report is derived
from a pilot study on the pregnant therapist.
