PMS and Couple Relationships

20 Apr 2012

Renewal of research – your help needed

 

Last year we posted information about research being undertaken by Zoe Starnawski at City University. She is resuming her study after taking time off to have her baby. She was delighted with the response last time and we hope that her request for partcipants will again be fruitful.

Do you experience PMS?

 

  • - Do you feel agitated and restless?
  • - Do you get angry and feel ‘out of control'?

Do you meet the following criteria?

  • You are a woman aged 18 or over
  • You or your partner feels you experience moderate to severe PMS
  • You have been living with your partner for no less than 1 year

 

If so you may be interested in participating in a study looking at the experiences of couples when one partner is experiencing PMS

 

I am a trainee Counselling Psychologist completing a Professional Doctorate in Counselling Psychology at City University who is interested in how PMS symptoms may affect heterosexual couples' relationships.  The study will involve couple interviews which will be conducted confidentially.

 

If you and your partner are interested in participating, or would simply like to find out more, please contact

Zoe Starnawski on email: zoe.starnawski.1@city.ac.uk

 Or mobile: 07749109724 

I look forward to hearing from you
