Over the past few decades, attitudes towards therapeutic abortion have gradually changed in many countries from denial and punishment to acceptance. The debate on this emotionally laden subject still continues. In this article, we review some of the recent literature covering therapeutic abortion on psychiatric grounds, including studies of women granted termination as well as those refused. Other related areas, such as the long-term effect on children born after the refusal of termination and the relevance of this to preventative psychiatry, are also considered.
在过去几十年里，许多国家对治疗性堕胎的态度已逐渐从否认和惩罚转变为接受。关于这个充满情感的话题的辩论仍在继续。在本文中，我们回顾了一些近期关于基于精神疾病原因进行治疗性堕胎的文献，包括对获准终止妊娠的女性以及被拒绝终止妊娠的女性的研究。我们还考虑了其他相关领域，比如拒绝终止妊娠后所生孩子的长期影响以及这与预防性精神病学的相关性。
