RENNER, Anelise Meurer et al. Intervention for mothers with postpartum depression: psychoeducation and training for emotion recognition protocols. Psicol. pesq. [online]. 2021, vol.15, n.2, pp. 1-19. ISSN 1982-1247.  http://dx.doi.org/10.34019/1982-1247.2021.v15.30212.

Postpartum Maternal Depression (PPD) is a clinical condition that has negative effects on the health of the mother, the baby and the relationship between both. Interventions in this context must be adapted to reality in order to reduce the impacts on child development and maternal health. The aim of this study was to build a psychoeducational protocol and to develop an emotion recognition training. The method consisted of four stages: literature review, preliminary proposal, expert analysis and pilot study. Psychoeducation was guided by seven booklets with themes typical of development, and the emotion recognition training consisted of a care protocol for mothers with PPD and their babies, with the objective of working on issues related to the processing of maternal faces and attentional bias. The results showed that the two intervention protocol proposals proved to be easy to understand for the evaluated subjects.
