Book Description

ISBN-10: 063203906X | ISBN-13: 978-0632039067 | Publication Date: January 15, 1996 | Edition: 1

Counselling in male infertility is a highly specialised area. The HFEA (Human Fertilization and Embryology Authority) Code of Practice advocates its use. Currently a huge gap exists between the reality, the theory, and its practice, and this is of concern to counsellors and other healthcare professionals. This insightful, lively book clearly outlines the theory behind such counselling and provides details on how it can best be achieved in practice. It explains the background for infertility, treatment options, and the emotional aspects of this diagnosis for the patient and his partner. In addition, the book includes discussions about the influence of culture and religion and men's specific needs in counselling situations.
