Infertility Counseling: A Comprehensive Handbook for Clinicians

doi:10.1017/CBO9780511547263

Infertility Counseling: A Comprehensive Handbook for Clinicians, 2nd edition, is a comprehensive, multidisciplinary textbook for all health professionals providing care for individuals facing reproductive health issues. It is the most thorough and extensive book currently available for clinicians in the field of infertility counseling, providing an exhaustive and comprehensive review of topics. It addresses both the medical and psychological aspects of infertility, reviewing assessment approaches, treatment strategies, counseling for medical conditions impacting fertility, third-party reproduction, alternative family building and post infertility counseling issues. Each chapter follows the same format: introduction, historical overview, literature review, theoretical framework, identification of clinical issues, suggestions for therapeutic interventions, and future implication. This edition also includes extensive appendixes of clinical tools useful to the clinician, including an Internet database of resources and an extensive glossary of terminology.

'This is a book that will be of benefit to seasoned professionals as well as newcomers working in any of the different fields involved in the provision of ART and infertility treatment. The information in Infertility Counseling may have the most relevance for mental health professionals, but it can have an impact on clinical practice for all of the professions that constitute the infertility team.'
