title: [A comparison of the psychosocial status of 125 abortion patients before and after the termination of pregnancy].
abstract: We described in a former study (Volume 3, 1982) the cases of 228 abortion patients, their psychosocial data and the conflicts from which the unwanted pregnancies, which are interrupted, arise. A follow-up study took place 18 to 24 months after the abortion. The crucial point of the follow-up investigation was the development of the relationship, newly wanted or unwanted pregnancies, the practice of contraception, the psychological coming to terms with the abortion as well as the re-evaluation of the conflict situations described in the earlier study. With these results we tried to understand the consequences of an abortion and to determine important parameters for the obligatory consultation prior to the abortion.
