5.0 out of 5 stars
A valuable addition to the clinician's library,
By A Customer
This review is from: Infertility and Identity: New Strategies for Treatment (Hardcover)
This book uses detailed case material to illustrate the various concerns experienced by patients who are dealing with infertility. It provides clear descriptions of the specific interventions that address many of these patient concerns. Deveraux and Hammerman have presented material in such a way that therapists are able to select appropriate specific interventions so that therapy can be individualized to address the concerns of a particular patient or couple. Infertility and Identity also describes effective interventions for patients who may still be struggling with the issue of infertility years after a successful pregnancy or adoption. This book is especially relevant at a time when financial constraints often necessitate therapy to be focused and time-limited. This book will be an excellent resource for clinicians who are helping patients deal with the many issues related to infertility.

An excellent resource on infertility.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Infertility and Identity: New Strategies for Treatment (Hardcover)
This is a much-needed resource for a major problem area for many couples. Deveraux and Hammerman have written an informed and useful book about a seldom-addressed problem. Of particular interest are their challenges to traditional thinking. As a psychologist often working with clients with infertility problems I found their concepts challenging and useful, full of practical information. Although directed to the professional this book is quite readable and down-to-earth, and will be as valuable resource for individuals and couples struggling with this problem. Highly recommended. Ronald J. Scott, Ph.D.
