title: [Psychogenic sterility].
abstract: A question underlies this statement: is one justified in offering medically-assisted methods of procreation to couples with low fertility attributable to no identifiable cause? This question is based on the clinical experience of a psychoanalyst who has been working in the medical field of sterility for the past 15 years. Furthermore, this statement invites physicians to reflect on the possibilities open to them to take a request for a child in a way other than its face value. What then is one to make of the symptom of infertility with no cause as a response of the body to a problem which is not consciously identified by the subject affected.
