There is increasing evidence that about 30% of women evaluate their childbirth as traumatic and that women could develop post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in response to events of birth. The mean prevalence of post-partum PTSD (PP-PTSD) was reported as 3-4% in community samples and 15.7-18.95% in high-risk samples. The primary aim is to investigate the effectiveness of Eye Movement Desesitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) in treating post-traumatic and postpartum depressive symptoms in women who had a traumatic childbirth as compared to Supportive Expressive Dynamic Psychotherapy (SEDP) as therapy as usual. Secondary outcomes are: - to evaluate the differences between EMDR and SEDP in preventing the onset of PTSD and Post-partum Depression after 3 months; - to evaluate the effectiveness of EMDR and SEDP on anxiety and mother-child bonding; The subjects of the study will be 60 women who had a traumatic childbirth in the previous 2 days. Women with a Impact of Event Scale-Revised (IES-R) score > or = to 24 will be treated with 2-4 sessions of EMDR or with SEDP. Two follow-up assessments will be scheduled: at 6-weeks post-partum (after the end of the psychotherapeutic intervention) and at 12-weeks post-partum.
