Written for practicing psychologists in fertility counseling and those considering entering the field, this work considers psychological, moral, ethical, and legal dilemmas that mental health professionals face when practicing in the field of reproductive medicine. The book begins with an overview of psychological theories of distress and models of treatment for infertility, and a review of medical, psychological, sociological, and bioethical literature related to assisted reproductive technology (ART). Case vignettes and analyses shed light on issues related to treatment access, unused embryos, multifetal pregnancies, information disclosure, and clients' cultural and religious values. Appendices offer samples of religious approaches and international approaches to assisted reproductive technologies. Horowitz is a licensed psychologist in private practice and a member of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine. Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
