"The authors of this excellent book are senior members of the Infertility Project at the Ackerman Institute for the Family in New York City.

"The book serves as a beneficial primer for mental health professionals interested in working with individuals faced with reproductive challenges....The focus on adoption and childfree living is well balanced and provides helpful tools for the therapist to assist clients in their decision-making process. Beneficial recommendations with regard to how, what, and when to tell children their adoption story are provided....the appendix provided by the authors is a valuable guide for clinicians with regard to the medical evaluation and treatment of infertility. Though primarily for the clinician's use, this reference is also suitable for the lay public. The authors are to be commended for their development of a straightforward couple's approach to infertility counseling."--Journal of Couple and Relationship Therapy

Review
"This long overdue book is sure to become an authoritative source for understanding and dealing with the many ramifications of infertility. It is a book to be treasured by therapists and couples alike, combining technological information with enlightening therapeutic approaches. It touches on every level of this heartrending experience, with specific guidelines for helping couples through the maze of decisions, choices, disappointments, and possibilities engendered by being childless. No therapist should be without it." --Peggy Papp, MSW
"Couple Therapy for Infertility is an essential reference for clinicians working with infertile couples. Using an excellent blend of research, theory and clinical material, the authors provide a sturdy foundation upon which mental health professionals can build a constructive therapeutic relationship with these couples. This book is both practical and compassionate. The format interweaves issues and therapeutic approaches and is tremendously helpful and accessible. Whether clinicians already have been working in the infertility field or are brand new, Couple Therapy for Infertility is a 'must read.'" --Andrea Mechanick Braverman, PhD, Director of Psychological Services, Pennsylvania Reproductive Associates, Philadelphia, PA
"Professionals who work with the ever-larger number of couples struggling with infertility will welcome this thoughtful, clinically sophisticated guide. The authors elucidate complex biological, psychological, and social issues, providing the reader with a clear and understandable map of the pathway in life known as infertility. Beyond this, they bring together the best elements of current research and family therapy-informed practice. This book is to be commended for the skills it will impart to healthcare providers and the help it will offer to couples." --Donald A. Bloch, MD, Co-Chair, Collaborative Family Healthcare Coalition; Past President, American Family Therapy Academy
