title: Helping medical students understand postpartum psychosis through the prism of "The Yellow Wallpaper" by Charlotte Perkins Gilman.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  We assessed the use of literature to illustrate a postpartum depression lecture.
  
  
  METHODS
  Medical students and faculty facilitators were surveyed after small group discussions.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Students' ratings and comments were positive, and faculty comments were neutral to positive.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Students valued this teaching method, while faculty observations reflected challenges of assessing literature's contributions to medical education in improving empathy and treatment outcome.
