Dear Jo,
I found the article you need. ( 8 pages). Here is, in a few words, the
content:
Recognising that the intrapsychic reorganisation during pregnancy and birth
can be difficult, the authors want to develop the subject of traumatic
nevrose which is not very well known and not diagnosed. The impact of the
traumatic nevrose is handicaping the mother and constitute a major risk for
ulterior pregnancy and birth.
The autors develop a definition and history of the traumatic nevrose. The
article is a reflexion based on ten observations of clinical cases. After
gathering 5 analogies between cases, they elaborate a theory. They make
the hypothese that the birth was traumatic because it involved an
unconscious psychic representation. The occasion of the first birth produced
a hole in the repression and that hole remains latent until the next
preganncy. Nightmares will come through that hole.
Give me a sign if you want a fax copy of the article.
take care, Céline
