| Riassunto: | The unfulfilled desire for children is a significant problem worldwide. The psychological effects of this development are usually underestimated, while the myth of “psychogenic infertility” stubbornly persists. This article first provides an overview of the basic facts on the subject before highlighting the psychological effects of both the diagnosis of infertility and the therapeutic options. Psychological aspects of “third-party” reproduction and further developments after childbirth or without a child are discussed, followed by a brief outline of the general and specific subject matter addressed in infertility counselling. The article concludes with reflections on the possible psychological consequences of further medical developments in this area. |
