Pregnancy, delivery and the first weeks after childbirth are still the most wonderful, intensive and fascinating events we know. Particularly in the civilised countries, where most existential or even life-threatening events in which we would face our physical and psychological limits are experienced only rarely or avoided altogether, pregnancy and delivery are still such exceptional events. During pregnancy, delivery and the weeks and months after childbirth, great efforts of physical and psychological adaptation are demanded of a woman. The biological processes are closely connected to the psychological processes taking place during this time. Considering these great changes in the physical and psychological state of women and in the normal routine of her life, the highly emotional character of the event and its demands in terms of coping and assimilative processes, pregnancy, delivery and childbed can be regarded as a critical life event or normative developmental crisis. Such life events, even though in the case of pregnancy and childbirth they are often wished or even longed for, are always potential destabilizing factors with the corresponding consequences for the somatic and psychological health of the mother. Problems can arise during all phases of pregnancy, delivery and during the postpartum time. Until the three last decades, the problems were seen mainly in terms of somatic problems of the mother and the child. Psychological problems or psychiatric disorders - except for psychoses - of the mother pre-, peri- or postpartum were not given a great deal of attention. Although in the last few years, the knowledge about these problems has grown, some aspects are still not well studied or documented. One aspect is that childbirth can be experienced as traumatic by some women, who can develop posttraumatic stress symptoms as a consequence. Another aspect refers to the possibility that women may develop more than one psychiatric disorder after childbirth.
