This is the first in-depth exploration of psychotherapy for those who have experienced the loss of a baby during pregnancy or in the first few weeks of life. Irving B. Leon integrates recent work on narcissism, mourning, and short-term therapy with more traditional psychoanalytic theory and treatment to provide a combination of theory, practice, and research that will be valuable for all mental health clinicians.
