The author explores the possible relationship between psychopathology and abortion. The paper starts with the updating of epidemiological data regarding the incidence of abortion, especially in the current Spanish society. In this partnership there are three sections in the study of these possible relations between the abortion and the psychopathology: (a) in the new emerging sexual behaviour, especially among young people, and psychopathological factors possibly determining their sexual behaviour; (b) in the psychological and psychopathological context that makes the decision to abort, in regard to the factors of the couple and their families of origin and social context, and (c) in the frequent psychopathological disorders that seem to arise from the abortion, according to recent data reported by many researchers in the international scientific community. The study of the so-called Post-Abortion Syndrome (PAS) puts an end to this cooperation, distinguishing psychopathological profile characteristic that distinguishes the various stages of this syndrome.
作者探讨了精神病理学与堕胎之间可能存在的关系。本文开篇更新了有关堕胎发生率的流行病学数据，尤其是在当前的西班牙社会。在这种关系中，关于堕胎与精神病理学之间这些可能关系的研究有三个部分：（a）在新出现的性行为中，尤其是在年轻人当中，以及可能决定其性行为的精神病理因素；（b）在做出堕胎决定的心理和精神病理背景下，涉及伴侣及其原生家庭和社会背景的因素；（c）根据国际科学界许多研究人员最近报告的数据，在堕胎后似乎出现的常见精神病理障碍。对所谓的堕胎后综合征（PAS）的研究结束了这种合作，区分了该综合征不同阶段所特有的精神病理特征。
