Neither the public nor the helping professions have much awareness of miscarriage. Miscarriage is examined from medical, feminist, psychoanalytic, and community psychological perspectives, which are judged critically from a woman's experiential perspective. The latter is presented in depth and utilized to demonstrate the needs for greater awareness and understanding of this kind of personal and family loss.
