Abortion Work: Strains, Coping Strategies, Policy Implications.

Joffe, Carole

Social Work, v24 n6 p485-89 Nov 1979

Workers involved in counseling potential abortion recipients are subject to strains. The author uses observations made at one abortion clinic to conclude that these strains and methods of coping developed by staff and administration must be considered in formulating any policy on abortion.
