9780803989504: Counselling for Fertility Problems (Therapy in Practice)

Synopsis

As medical advances over the last two decades have enabled more childless people to initiate conception and to become parents, this book examines the increasingly crucial role of counselling for those who seek help with fertility problems.

With the practitioner specifically in mind, Jane Read presents step-by-step guidelines which follow the counselling process through from the initial phase of `facing the key issues′ through `facing the loss′ to the final stage of `facing the future′. The most appropriate forms of counselling at each point are discussed and illustrated with examples drawn from the author′s own experience. The book sets fertility counselling in a wider context, looking at the related topics of sexuality and abortion as well as the potential psychological implications for donors.
