Attitudinal and emotional structures specific for infertile women

Conceiving a child was before, and will be a milestone for more and more couples; the inability to have a child means pressure, sufferings for the couple, emotional and spiritual pain. On a global scale but also in Romania, infertility has become a health issue, affecting one out of 10 couples and its effect on the couple is compared to the suffering induced by terminal diseases; for us, studying its effects has proven a true challenge. Our intention has been to realize a thorough study of this phenomenon and we established an experimental design for a group of 20 women diagnosed with infertility and a witness group of 20 women with children, in order to find psycho-therapeutic solutions for psychological trauma determined by infertility.
