[Group therapy for people damaged by child abuse, neglect and pregnancy loss combination].
The authors reviewed the literature focused on groups for people damaged by childhood mistreatment and pregnancy loss. They also presented II-PLCARR therapy designed for those who suffer from a sequel of abuse, neglect and pregnancy loss combination. Time limited group therapy for people damaged by abuse, neglect and pregnancy loss was designed at the Institute of Pregnancy Loss Child Abuse Research and Recovery, Victoria, Canada. The phases of the program include e.g.: realising mistreatment and damage; realising excuses, denial and resistance; training of assertion; resisting manipulation; accepting partial responsibility; facing guilt, mourning the loss of childhood; passing through despair; dead babies rehumanization and mourning; reconciliation with victims, observers and perpetrators; negotiation of realistic expectations; attenuations of unnecessary pair bonding; learning to love; celebration; good good-byes. The study of IIPLCARR therapy effectiveness is displayed as well.
