Treatment Approaches

I am interested in perinatal/reproductive psychiatry as well as psychodyanmic therapy, but do not yet feel experienced enough to call myself an expert or "subspecialist" in these areas. I just graduated from psychiatry residency and am in the process of going to more trainings/learning more!
