Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Although it is not a commonly recognized fact, the male is the problem in about half of the 2.5 million couples struggling with infertility. Clinical psychologist Schover and Thomas, a urologist in the Cleveland Clinic's infertility program, draw on their expertise to provide information that lay readers need to understand the causes of male fertility problems. They discuss how to find competent doctors and demystify the available treatment options for infertile couples. They also clearly explain reproductive anatomy and physiology, diagnostic procedures, causative factors, and therapeutic options, as well as the psychological and emotional aspects of male infertility. Recommended for all healthcare collections.AJames Swanton, Harlem Hosp. Lib., New York

From Booklist
Clinical psychologist Schover has long worked with infertile couples, as urologist Thomas has with male infertility. Their combined skills and knowledge make this a valuable book--patient-oriented, conveying a vast amount of information understandably, and maintaining an underlying sense of humor that puts problems and persons in perspective. Scientific details are spelled out, and physical and psychological aspects are illuminated to help a patient in choosing a course of treatment. Several tables compare the attitudes of major religions toward a wide variety of treatments and procedures, and the potential patient is urged to investigate any assisted reproductive technology and clinic he is thinking of using. Schover, who emphasizes that most men automatically blame infertility on their wives or girlfriends, joins Thomas to also warn readers about inaccurate or misleading information on the surprisingly many infertility-related Internet sites.
