Naomi Snider
AbstractThis paper situates psychoanalytic exploration of abortion within a politically polarized culture, in which claims of psychological and moral hazard are weaponized to undermine women’s reproductive freedom. Reflecting on these political perils and building on Sullivan’s notion of consensually validated experience as central to reflective functioning, the author locates psychoanalytic silence around abortion as part of a broader socio-cultural disavowal. Without a framework in which to describe the abortion decision as an ethical choice, rooted in a sense of responsibility for self and other, dissociation of these complex dimensions becomes a tool of political expediency. Yet the costs of splitting off the ethical and psychological complexities of the abortion decision are significant: Little support is provided to women faced with this decision, and conversations about ethical complexities are shut-down, creating a void that has been filled by the anti-abortion movement. The urgent question for psychoanalysts is: How do we help women formulate abortion narratives – including the healing, traumatic, and ethical dimensions – when the cultural debate around not just abortion but women’s decision-making power, generally, precludes such complexities? This is a question that has implications far beyond the consulting room: Listening to women on their own terms is crucial if we are ever to build a socio-legal framework that better reflects and protects their lived experience.Keywords: Consensually validatedabortiondissociationreproductive agencypoliticalThis article is part of a series including: Additional informationNotes on contributorsNaomi SniderNaomi Snider, LL.M., LP, is a practicing psychoanalyst and graduate of the William Alanson White Institute of Psychiatry, Psychoanalysis & Psychology, where she currently serves as President of the Psychoanalytic Society.

AbstractThe papers of Beck and Snider (this issue) grapple with the place of abortion in our psychoanalytic thought and practice, locating abortion within the larger cultural and political world. At the heart of much of the difficulty surrounding a thoughtful consideration of abortion is the accompanying dissociative pressure arising from the binaries of life and death, of maternal versus fetal well-being, and the confounding of socio-cultural and personal decision making. I offer an intergenerational lens juxtaposing the polarized present with the open and accessible abortion landscape of the late 1970s. In both eras, examples are discussed where the political and cultural zeitgeist exerts dissociative pressure on patient and therapist alike, leaving little room for psychoanalytic exploration. The role of both partners in any conception is also discussed.Keywords: abortionintergenerationalabortion in the 1970sabortion dissociationabortion generativityabortion as a couple decision Notes1 American Psychological Association (APA), Division 39 Spring Meeting: Reckoning/Foresight, March 2021.Additional informationNotes on contributorsKathy Bacon-GreenbergKathy Bacon-Greenberg, Ph.D. is a graduate of the NYU Postdoctoral Program in Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis, Supervising Analyst at the National Institute for the Psychotherapies (NIP), Clinical Adjunct Professor at the Gordon Derner School of Professional Psychology, Adelphi University, and Faculty, Stephen Mitchell Relational Study Center.

AbstractIn both what has and has not been published in the psychoanalytic literature about abortion, those who elect abortion have been devalued. The omission of abortion perpetuates its sense of unimportance in our field. Where it features, it is relegated to a category of conflict colored by pathology and trauma. To the contrary, abortion can be experienced as a generative event. Interviews with ten women who underwent abortion reveal important themes that are underrepresented in existing theory. These women offered windows into their lives both before and after their abortions in a way that framed their abortions as pivotal turning points. I propose the possibility of viewing abortion as a catalyst for psychological growth, and discuss related clinical considerations.Keywords: abortionpregnancymotherhoodinfertilityterminationcreativity This article is part of a series including: Notes1 Participants were recruited through referrals generated by posts on professional listservs. I had no prior relationships with any of the participants. The salient inclusionary criteria consisted of experiences with both abortion and motherhood. While most participants reported trauma histories, these were not part of the selection criteria. It is worth considering whether certain psychological experiences, such as unresolved trauma, may have motivated self-selection into the study.2 See Castro (Citation2022). https://www.livescience.com/18629-pregnant-monkeys-miscarry-avoid-infanticide.html.3 See https://www.northgeorgiazoo.com/zoo-am-i-blog/ask-a-zookeeper-sacrificing-babies).4 See Burgess (Citation2020). https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-04-03/why-tasmanian-devils-born-in-april/12114878).Additional informationNotes on contributorsIsheh BeckIsheh Beck, Psy.D., is a psychologist in Philadelphia and a psychoanalytic candidate at New York University’s Postdoctoral Program in Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis.
