 Through
individual
counseling and
group therapy
sessions, Dr.
Burke has
devoted the last
18 years to the
research and
treatment of
women struggling
with
post-abortion
issues. Many of
the women she
treated came to
her because
other therapists
refused to
believe that an
abortion could
cause
significant
trauma. Other
women came to
her because
their family and
friends failed
to understand
the reality of
their pain and
suffering.
In Forbidden
Grief, Dr. Burke
explains the
importance of
listening to
those who are
struggling with
past abortions,
and suggests
ways we can
create a more
understanding
and healing
society, where
women will no
longer be
required to hide
their pain.
Drawing on the
experience and
insights of
hundreds of her
clients, Dr.
Burke shows how
repressed
feelings may be
acted out
through
self-destructive
behavior, broken
relationships,
obsessions,
eating
disorders,
parenting
difficulties and
other emotional
or behavioral
problems.
Abortion causes
conflict. It
fragments
political
parties,
churches,
schools,
neighborhoods
and families.
These conflicts
mirror the
division within
the
post-abortive
person. Many
women have said
they faced a
daily, internal
battle between
condemning
themselves and
defending their
choice.
Forbidden Grief
gives the reader
a better
understanding of
the nature and
origin of
unresolved
abortion issues
and what steps
can be taken to
find healing.
