[Psychological aspects of requests for artificial insemination using a donor. Data on 740 couples]

The authors present the problems that have been raised by psychologically interviewing 740 couples who ask for A.I.D. They describe the procedure that they adopted and the features that came up during the interview and particularly in the way the couples experienced their sterility. They conclude by pointing out how important a consultation is, both from the point of view of evaluating the couple psychologically in regard to the treatment and from the point of view of clarifying the needs, the doubts and the expectations that the two partners have when they decide to undertake A.I.D.
