title: [The prevention of late psychological sequelae following therapeutic termination of pregnancy. The role of the doctor during consultations (author's transl)].
abstract: Legal termination of pregnancy only rarely has psychological sequelae, which furthermore are usually moderate and transitory. They are usually found in women who have been pressed to have a termination by third parties, in those women who are ambivalent as far as the termination is concerned, in those who submit to the operation because of a medical indication and in those women where there is a brittle psychological state before pregnancy. The author makes certain suggestions which should help to prevent psychological troubles developing in a certain number of cases.
