Rayna D. Markin, PhD,听is the author of the newly published book, by Oxford University Press.听听In her book, Dr. Markin听applies cutting-edge research on the therapist-client relationship to individual and couples therapy for pregnancy loss and related forms of reproductive trauma, in such a way that is easy for clinicians to utilize in various settings. Through in-depth clinical illustrations and practical relational guidance, Markin demonstrates how the therapy relationship can help clients affected by pregnancy loss to mourn their losses, process and grow from trauma and loss, and restore healthy self-esteem. Guided largely by attachment theory and research on evidence-based relationships and responsiveness, this book is a guide on what exactly clinicians should听do听and how they should听be听in the therapy relationship to help clients not only grieve and process the traumatic experience of pregnancy loss but also achieve greater attachment security.

Psychotherapy for Pregnancy Loss听will serve as a valuable go-to guide on how clinicians can establish and utilize the kind of therapeutic relationship that is needed to help clients process and grow from the trauma of pregnancy loss.

Rayna Markin, Ph.D., was selected to participate in the American Psychological Association's therapy demonstration video series. Dr. Markin recently filmed the video, "Psychotherapy for Pregnancy Loss" as part of that series. Pictured here with host Cheri Marmarosh.
