The prenatal clinic is essentially multidisciplinary. This fact, combined with family and the social support, constitutes the usual emotional container for normal pregnancies and it is sufficient in most cases. Nevertheless, the psychological specialist can support the emotional commitment of the professionals by monitoring the continuity and the coherence of their action. In addition, when encountering situations that present risks to the mother (pre-pregnancy psychiatric disorders, emergence of traumatic life events, or blossoming of puerperal psychiatric disorders) or the baby (diseases or birth defects, prematurity, or handicap), the psychological specialist can take preventative as well as therapeutic actions.
