Abstract

ABSTRACT The lack of recognition and understanding of miscarriage as a significant loss often leaves bereaved parents with less social support to help them navigate their grief. In a phenomenological study of parents’ experiences of miscarriage, a theme emerged regarding disenfranchisement and the norm of silence surrounding early pregnancy loss. This theme contributes to overwhelming evidence that miscarriage is a unique loss with additional challenges. This paper will discuss this theme of disenfranchisement and describe how a feminist approach to couples therapy can provide greater support to parents experiencing this loss.
“无声的战斗”:用女权主义的方法支持流产后的夫妇
摘要对流产这一重大损失缺乏认识和理解,往往会使失去亲人的父母失去帮助他们度过悲痛的社会支持。在一项关于父母流产经历的现象学研究中,出现了一个主题,即剥夺选举权和围绕早孕损失的沉默规范。这一主题提供了压倒性的证据,证明流产是一种独特的损失,并带来了额外的挑战。本文将讨论被剥夺选举权的主题,并描述女性主义的夫妻治疗方法如何为经历这种损失的父母提供更大的支持。
