Abstract:
Though, from a psychological point of view, infertile couples appear rarely symptomized, some of them do need psychological counselling. Over the last years detailed treatment concepts have been developed in the sequel of psychosomatic research on fertility disorders in Germany. Counselling strategies, advising literature for patients as well as the "Counselling Network for Infertility Germany" are presented. Hints at how to conduct counselling and curative treatment in the case of infertility are given.
