TAGUCHI, Mychele Capellini Moris  and  PIO, Danielle Abdel Massih. Psychoanalytical perspective of motherhood experiences in abortion and premature birth cases. Rev. Psicol. Saúde [online]. 2014, vol.6, n.2, pp. 56-61. ISSN 2177-093X.

Motherhood is a period in that woman's life goes through organic and psychological transformations. Sometimes this experience is frightening, especially when the pregnant can have complications and develop symptoms and diseases often leading to abortion or premature birth situations. Based on BVS, LILACS, SCIELO, MEDLINE and BIREME we found publications from 1980 to 2012 on this subject. A psychoanalytic reading is made by several authors' hypothesis that the preponderance of persecutory anxieties mighty be decisive for the evolution from pregnancies to abortion and prematurity situations indicated by cases seen during studies at a Medicine College in Marília/SP concerning the Professional Development of Health Psychology. As conclusion, we affirm the review emphasizes that attention should be directed to these pregnant women in order to help them to experience such a situation in a less scary manner, providing them with preventive measures including mental and health care in general.
