Unsung Lullabies: Understanding and Coping with Infertility

Three seasoned specialists offer techniques to help couples cope when facing infertility. "Must reading for the thousands of people struggling with the pain of infertility." —Christiane Northrup, MD For people experiencing infertility, wanting a baby is a craving unlike any other. The intensity of their longing is matched only by the complexity of the emotional maze they must navigate. With insight and compassion, Drs. Janet Jaffe, Martha Diamond, and David Diamond-specialists in the field of Reproductive Psychology who have each experienced their own struggle with infertility-give couples the tools to:

- Reduce their sense of helplessness and isolation - Identify their mates' coping styles to erase unfair expectations - Listen to their "unsung lullabies"—their conscious and unconscious dreams about having a family—to mourn the losses of infertility and move on Ground-breaking, wise, and compassionate, Unsung Lullabies is a necessary companion for anyone coping with infertility. "A new creative approach that avoids psychological and medical jargon and makes the issues accessible to any reader." —Miriam Tasimi, professor of psychiatry, UCLA Medical School
