Abstract
Perinatal loss has recently received attention in the literature that presents it as different from other types of losses . Perinatal loss , or the loss of an infant due to miscarriage , stillbirth , or neonatal death , is a significant problem that may be best understood when viewed through the framework of attachment theory . Recent advances in medical technology , including prenatal diagnostic procedures and resulting decisions have influenced issues of both perinatal attachment and loss , and have provided challenges for the clinician . This article presents a review of current theories and research on attachment and perinatal loss , and discusses how knowledge gained from this research may be integrated into clinical practice .
