Infertility Counseling: A Comprehensive Handbook for Clinicians,
second edition, is a comprehensive, multidisciplinary textbook for
all health professionals providing care for individuals facing
reproductive health issues. It is the most thorough and extensive

counseling, providing an exhaustive and comprehensive review of
topics. It addresses both the medical and psychological aspects of
infertility, reviewing assessment approaches, treatment strategies,
medical counseling issues, third-party reproduction, alternative
family building and post infertility counseling issues. Each chapter
