Abstract

Mothers who lose a baby may show inappropriate grief reaction (IGR) at varying times following the event. The authors describe an interdisciplinary crisis-intervention team aimed at assessing and reducing pathologic grief in such mothers, and report their preliminary findings. Among the factors found associated with increased risk of IGR are the mother's desire for a baby, history of previous psychiatric problems, premature birth, failure to see the baby, and poor communication between the parents.
