Abstract
Research strongly supports the view that pregnancy termination is seld
om associated with adverse psychological sequelae in the short to medi
um term, but experience shows that there is a small group of women who
experience long and intense suffering. This is a report of the cases
of two women who presented with psychological problems associated with
a termination 19 and 5 years earlier.
