Psychological assessment of the infertile couple
Abstract:
The psychological assessment of the infertile couple involves ruling out major psychopathology, and attempting to uncover psychological factors that may be contributing to the problem of infertility. These factors may be sought out by looking for subtle and unconscious behavior which works against the wife's becoming pregnant, and by uncovering fears relating to pregnancy, attempting to connect these fears to events in the individual's past. Several issues relating to interview technique, particularly those that run counter to traditional medical training, are discussed.
