" Needle and Walker have taken on a complex, profound and essential task -- equipping therapists and abortion counselors with the knowledge and skills needed to help their clients. Readers of this book should gain] an increased understanding of how women's diverse life circumstances affect their ability to cope with the difficult decisions and circumstances surrounding abortion. -- From the Foreword by Nancy Felipe Russo, PhD, Regents Professor of Psychology, Arizona State University This book looks to refute the myth of "post-abortion syndrome" that often causes prolonged feelings of sadness after an abortion. This book will train general therapists and counselors in pre- and post-abortion counseling techniques on how to cope with the stress of abortion--to avoid women experiencing unnecessary psychological problems created by those who insist that the non-existent syndrome exists.
