Abstract
There exists a vast literature on the puerperal psychoses. Most of it is incomplete in that rarely is any definition of the “puerperal period” made; frequently there is no attempt to differentiate between the various clinical syndromes seen when aetiology is considered, and little consideration is given to the extent of constitutional predisposition to psychiatric illness in the probands.Keywords
