Efficacy of Parent-Infant-Psychotherapy with mothers with postpartum mental disorder: study protocol of the randomized controlled trial as part of the SKKIPPI project

DiscussionThere is increasing demand for well-controlled studies on psychotherapeutic interventions in the postpartum period that do not only focus on particular risk groups. This randomized controlled trial (RCT) represents one of the first studies to investigate the efficacy of PIP in inpatient psychiatric departments and outpatient care centers in Germany. The results will fill knowledge gaps on the factors contributing to symptom reduction in postpartum mental disorders and improvements in mother-child relationships and help in developing preventive and therapeutic strategies for the fragmented German health care system.Trial registrationGerman Register for Clinical Trials, ID:DRKS00016353.
