Since the first test-tube baby was born, there has been a belief that all infertile women can now have babies has become widely accepted; indeed, infertile couples may feel great pressure to seek a medical solution. However, the psychological and social effects of the changing experiences of infertility remain confusing, both for those who experience infertility and for wider society. In this volume, a distinguished range of contributors, including novelist Hilary Mantel and Germaine Greer, examine the experience of infertility from both male and female perspectives, the psychological aspects of infertility diagnosis and treatment, and the often radical and unexpected effects on kinship. Drawing from a wide range of theoretical backgrounds including Jungian, analytical and personal reflections, this book aims to unravel the implications of advancing reproductive technology for our understanding of ourselves and our families.

Reviews for Inconceivable Conceptions: Psychological Aspects of Infertility and Reproductive Technology

At a time when many of us are struggling with the mass of new information about ART and attempting to assess the impact that it will have on people's lives, the editors have helped us to fill many gaps in our knowledge. The imaginative choice of contributors ensures that we are both informed on many levels and stimulated into thinking further about the growing dilemmas. - Elizabeth Andrew in British Journal of Psychotherapy, 2004, vol 20 no: 4 It was a fascinating, stimulating, reflective, pleasurable and sometimes emotional read. This is an important book in our field and my hope is that this overview will encourage you to beg, borrow or buy Inconceivable Conceptions. - Jane Read in the Journal of Fertility Counselling, 2004
