SUMMARY:Postpartum harm thoughts\, OCD and infant safety
DESCRIPTION:\n\n&nbsp\;\nSeminar Title: Postpartum harm thoughts\, OCD 
 and infant safety\nPresenter: Dr. Nichole Fairbrother\, Clinical Associa
 te Professor\, Department of Family Practice\, University of British Colum
 bia\, Adjunct Associate Professor\, University of Victoria\n\nDr. Nichole 
 Fairbrother is a Michael Smith Health Professional-Investigator\, register
 ed psychologist and Clinical Associate Professor with the Department of Fa
 mily Practice at the University of British Columbia. She is the head of th
 e UBC Perinatal Anxiety Disorder Research Lab (PARLab)\, one of the only p
 erinatal anxiety research labs in Canada. Dr. Fairbrother’s research is 
 in the area of perinatal anxiety disorders and epidemiology\, with a focus
  on new mothers’ thoughts of infant-related harm and perinatal obsessive
 -compulsive disorder (OCD). Current research activities include a large-sc
 ale study of perinatal anxiety and related disorder screening tools\, a ne
 w study of postpartum harm thoughts and their relationship with OCD and in
 fant safety\, and several inter-connected studies of fear of childbirth. S
 he is currently in the planning stages for a study of the mental health co
 rrelates of gender differences in the distribution of unpaid domestic labo
 ur and a randomized controlled trial of online CBT for postpartum OCD.\n\n
 Talk Summary: Unwanted intrusive thoughts (thoughts\, images and impulses
 ) of infant-related harm are reported by the vast majority of postpartum p
 eople. These kinds of thoughts can involve either accidental harm to the i
 nfant (e.g.\, “What if I fall while carrying my baby down the stairs?”
 ) or intentional harm (e.g.\, “What if I drop my baby off the balcony?
 ”). These kinds of thoughts\, in particular thoughts of intentional\, in
 fant-related harm\, can be very distressing to the people who experience t
 hem. Questions regarding infant safety often arise in response to these ki
 nds of thoughts. In this talk\, I will present the most up to date informa
 tion regarding unwanted\, intrusive thoughts of infant-related harm and th
 eir relation to infant safety and postpartum mental health.\n\n&nbsp\;
