Men, Women and Infertility: Intervention and Treatment Techniques is a book for medical and psychological professionals which gives concrete strategies to help patients deal with the stresses of infertility: the invasive medical treatments, the guilt, depression, shame, pessimism, anxiety, relationship and sexual problems, and assaults to self esteeem and sexual self esteem. Cognitive behavioral and imagery techniques are shown through case studies. There is a chapter on helping pregnant women patients with a prior history of miscarriage to manage their anxiety during subsequent pregnancies. There are two chapters on sexuality, looking at sexual trauma and at gender differences in how men and women react to sexuality during infertility.
