DANA DOVITCH
THE HEALING CHOICE
Your Guide to Emotional Recovery
Two psychologists, Candace DePuy and Dana Dovitch, provide much-needed guidance for those dealing with posttraumatic stress disorder after abortion, an emotional wound often felt years afterward.
Richly accompanied by sidebars quoting from Maya Angelou, Marilyn Monroe, Ayn Rand, Lily Tomlin, Margaret Sanger, and others, their text addresses the reality of pregnancy and the myths surrounding motherhood, then details the procedure of abortion from clinical as well as emotional standpoints.
The second section examines the aftermath of abortion, giving special emphasis to feelings of guilt and anger and to seeking forgiveness. Acceptance is the focus of the third and final part, with DePuy and Dovitch discussing the slow and ongoing process of transformation and healing.
Upon publication the authors were asked to speak to the United States Congress to report their findings on the relationship of abortion to posttraumatic stress disorder.

REVIEWS
In this important book--a map, cathartic tool, and smart how to rolled into one--women of every ilk and belief will find a sensitive, learned, and original guide.
MS MAGAZINE
Some women know they must grieve for what they lost. Others wrongly imagine that because it was their choice to abort, they don't need to pause to explore buried pain. Both will benefit from THE HEALING CHOICE.
THE LOS ANGELES TIMES
Valuable addition to the field that does not make assumptions about readers' views. Written for those women who suffer needless guilt. Recommended for all public libraries.
