Unwanted Pregnancy: Symptom of Depressive Practice
Abstract
The author studied 40 women who presented themselves for consultation concerning an unwanted pregnancy. He believes these women were victims of long-standing pathological depressive practices, of which exposure to pregnancy was a symptom. By means of a time-restricted, intense, exploratory process in which the women discussed their interpersonal relationships, the patients were able to gain some insight into their depressive practices and to learn how they had been perpetuating them.
