dc.description.abstractMaternal postpartum depression (PPD) can result in significant mental health challenges and there are limitations to the current methods of psychotherapy to treat this disorder. This capstone seeks to identify whether solution-focused therapy (SFT) could be a viable alternative to treating PPD, primarily through a literature review conducted via Google Scholar and the City University of Seattle in Canada and Athabasca University research databases. This capstone presents an overview of PPD and the associated risk factors. It evaluates primary modalities for PPD treatment in terms of effectiveness, explores prevailing barriers, and examines research on SFT for depressive disorders and PPD. This capstone fills a gap in the limited research about SFT for PPD to demonstrate how SFT can be applied to treat PPD in the postnatal period. It recommends further research to confirm the efficacy of SFT for PPD and provides clinical recommendations for research-informed practice.
