This online course will delve into the factors families contend with when faced with a potential decision to terminate a pregnancy for medical reasons. Legal, sociological, interpersonal, medical, and emotional aspects make this experience unique, and perinatal therapists benefit from a deep understanding of these multi-dimensional and intersecting factors. Using case examples, and both small and large group discussion, the three instructors, each experts in this particular type of loss, will guide participants as they expand their understanding of the losses and potential for trauma for families on this journey. Treatment approaches and frameworks including the AIP model and the use of EMDR will be addressed.
