Psychological and Medical Aspects of Induced Abortion: A Selective, Annotated Bibliography, 1970-1986

Winter has chosen 500 books, articles, and audiovisuals for this highly selective bibliography that emphasizes psychological and social aspects of elective abortion, although clinical technologies are also included. Items are chosen because they are classics in the field or represent specific points of view… . Because of its balance and guidance regarding emotional attitudes, and since no substantial annotated bibliographies devoted to abortion have appeared in recent years, the bibliography will be valuable to general readers and undergraduates.
