Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of this study is to assess if an early therapeutic management focused on the mother-baby interaction using Interaction Guidance Therapy (IGT) with video feedback, brings an improvement of the maternal sensitivity in the interaction but also a decrease of the post-traumatic maternal symptoms. Post Natal Post traumatic stress is known as a disorder that impaired maternal mental health but also development of motherhood and the construction of the bond to the baby through interactive disturbances. The investigators will screen, among women who had a traumatic perception of an event related to the pregnancy or the childbirth, those who still present posttraumatic stress symptoms at 4 weeks post-partum. Four weeks from the traumatic event is the minimum delay to qualify a PTSD. After randomization IGT versus Treatment As Usual (TAU), the investigators planned an early therapeutic intervention, 3 sessions at 8, 10 and 12 weeks of post-partum. The investigators will assess the effect of the IGT on Maternal sensitivity and on the intensity of post-traumatic stress symptoms at 3 month post-partum and 1year.

The randomization will proceed after the inclusion visit and the first assessment that take place at 6 weeks of post partum. The following assessments will take place at 4 months and 12 months. The investigators will conduct a national multicentre study with 5 inclusions centres, which are all child psychiatry unit specialized in perinatal period and already train or in training for the IGT method. - Pre-screening in post partum ward or during post partum consultation. - Pre Inclusion at 5 (+-1) weeks to assess PTSD with Post traumatic checklist (PCL -5) - Inclusion and First assessment at 6 weeks post partum - Randomization: 3 session of IGT or TAU at 8 weeks, 10 weeks and 12 weeks Assessment at 4 months (+/-2W) and 12 months (+/- 1M) ;
