Barbara Findeisan, a therapist in the San Francisco area, has
suggested
that women with unwanted pregnancies attempt transuterine communication
with their unborn child and explain their position. She reports that
spontaneous miscarriage often occurs after such communication takes
place. Psychotherapist Clara Riley Ph.D., of the University of
California in Irvine, also suggests that her clients who have a
conflict about pregnancy discuss the dilemma with the fetus.

Part of an extended dialog that one woman, Sally, had with her unborn
child
follows:

"I feel this isn't the right time for you to be there growing...I
couldn't give you what you want...You would be miserable. You should
have warmth and love surrounded by happiness, and I can't give that to
you. I want you to go awaya..There is no other way. I don't want to do
what I have to do tomorrow. Please go away on your very own...I really
am sorry."

The following day Sally miscarried.
