The physician treating the infertile couple, while attempting to diagnose and treat the cause of that problem, all too frequently overlooks the emotional aspects of involuntary sterility. Infertility can cause tremendous strains on the patients, either individually or as a couple. An approach to meeting these needs can be achieved through a program of counseling, provided as a service in an infertility center.
