Helping men with the trauma of miscarriage

Martha S Rinehart et al. Psychotherapy (Chic). 2010 Sep.

Abstract

Although much has been written about women and miscarriage, little has been researched or written about the partners of these women and their reactions to the pregnancy loss. The purpose of this paper is to review what is known about the subject and to suggest an approach to psychotherapy that is sensitive to the needs of these men and helps them make sense of their loss.
