The debate on abortion has tended to avoid the psychological significance of an unwanted pregnancy, dominated instead by the strong emotions the subject excites. In this book Eva Pattis Zoja examines the thoughts and feelings that surround the decision to end a pregnancy through the dreams, diary entries and reports of the women themselves.From the examination of the psychological issues involved in a decision to abort, the author draws a challenging conclusion. Sometimes, a voluntary abortion can be an unconcious, albeit violent, means of achieving self-identity. In this respect it can be seen as a step towards psychological maturity.
This is a book that presents no argument for or against abortion, nor attempts to deny the painful nature of the subject. Instead it looks at the symbolic and psychological dimensions of abortion, and the ways in which a decision to abort can affect a woman's inner life.
