Reproductive Surgery in Assisted Conception
by Mostafa Metwally Tin-Chiu LiTo many patients and indeed health care professionals, IVF is the ultimate treatment for infertility. However in many cases IVF is not feasible and may not be indicated. IVF remains a largely inefficient procedure that often does not succeed in a achieving a pregnancy. There remains a strong place for other fertility interventions, many of them surgical in nature. Surgical interventions can be used as a stand-alone fertility treatment or as an adjuvant treatment used in conjunction with other assisted conception treatments. Despite the continuing use of such techniques by reproductive surgeons, there remains a clear gap in the literature regarding resources to supplement formal training in the field or to provide a reference for established and aspiring practitioners.
Reproductive Trauma: Psychotherapy With Clients Experiencing Infertility and Pregnancy Loss
by Dr. Janet Jaffe PhDThis second edition gives mental health professionals the tools they need to treat patients who suffer from infertility or pregnancy loss, as well as new guidance for processing their own reproductive traumas. Prospective parents who experience infertility or pregnancy loss deal with a host of physical and psychological consequences. For many individuals and couples experiencing reproductive trauma, their ideal future has fallen apart, leaving them bereft and hopeless. Author Janet Jaffe demonstrates how helping professionals can work with patients&’ reproductive stories to help them grieve, cope, and heal while underscoring how clinicians&’ own reproductive stories impact their lives and their therapeutic work. With updates in research and new, more diverse case examples, this edition has been expanded to offer a more holistic understanding of reproductive trauma, including coverage of LGBTQ+ parents and their unique needs and experiences. It also reviews advances in reproductive technology and their ethical implications—including cryopreservation, third-party reproduction, and genetic testing—as well as how social and cultural factors influence parents&’ reproductive stories.
