Content:
"With updates in research and new case examples throughout, this new edition expands on ideas about trauma, emphasizing the difference between what happens when core beliefs are shattered-an internal experience-and the experience created by an externalized trauma resulting in posttraumatic stress disorder. The book examines the psychological upheaval of people struggling to become parents but also considers the emotions of the donors and surrogates who offer their gametes and/or their wombs to carry a child. The stories of birth parents who relinquish their child for adoption are often overlooked in the discussion of reproductive trauma. Their struggle is included in this new edition. The book is intended for any and all mental health professionals -budding or seasoned -who want to expand their knowledge of the crises that can affect clients of reproductive age. This includes psychologists, psychiatrists, psychiatric nurse practitioners, social workers, marriage and family therapists, professional counselors, and pastoral counselors. The book addresses all the medical reasons for infertility and pregnancy loss. It focuses on the psychological and emotional consequences when traumatic events occur on the journey to parenthood. The book collectively examines patients' experiences of reproductive trauma. Feelings about parenthood are a universal and core component of one's identity, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, or whether one wants children or not. The book concludes with an epilogue that emphasizes how important it is for therapists to help patients give voice to their reproductive stories while maintaining awareness of reproductive stories.
