Critical issues in psychiatry and reproduction.
In addition to their traditional role in counseling about contraception and sterilization, psychiatrists are becoming increasingly involved in decisions surrounding in vitro fertilization, surrogate motherhood, and artificial insemination. The medical-legal and ethical ramifications of these issues are other significant areas involving the psychiatrist. Exploration of feelings and fears about reproduction can benefit from psychiatric involvement for successful outcomes.
