Reproductive Psychology and Infertility
Journal Title: Acta Psychopathologica - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 6
Abstract
Reproductive psychology is a specialty of Health psychology, conducted within the framework of reproductive health, which deals with psychological aspects of human reproduction and its possible complications [1]. From adolescence to old age, we pass through distinct phases such as puberty, menarche, fatherhood, motherhood, or menopause, and various life situations that can produce emotional changes and require more specific psychological attention. Reproductive psychology provides an opportunity to look at and understand pregnancy, birth, menstrual cycle and menopause, and sexual and reproductive events in older age, not merely as medical and biological processes, but as social and psychological events.
