Treatment of infertility : current practices and psychosocial implications.: Z1-1989/3-41-23E

The three major surveys that begin the volume provide the most comprehensive picture to date of what kinds of infertility treatments are being provided in Canadian fertility clinics, what their outcomes are, what kinds of support services are available to patients, and how the patients themselves view their experiences. The second half of the volume contains studies that focus on the personal and psychosocial aspects of infertility treatment: an exploration of patient decision making, followed by two studies of the psychosocial aspects of infertility treatments based on survey data from infertile couples. The volume concludes with a literature review of existing publications on the psychosocial impact of infertility treatment on individuals and couples.
