Abstract
The reasons for the difficulty of mourning a stillbirth and the therapeutic management of this mourning process are outlined. A case is described of failed mourning of a stillbirth which gave rise to a profound disturbance in mothering of a subsequent live baby. A psychotherapeutic technique is discussed which facilitates the failed mourning of a stillbirth.Mesh:
