title: [Results of concomitant psychosomatic studies of IVF patients].
abstract: The in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment is very stressful for the couple. The emotional tension (waiting, hoping) plays a greater role than the bodily complaints (stimulation, follicle puncture). Sometimes the wish to get a child is very strong and is the motivation for IVF treatment. Psychological investigations show that IVF patients have fewer psychological complaints compared with other sterility patients; in the psychoanalytically oriented Giessen test there are no differences compared with other sterility patients. The aim of a treatment for IVF patients is the individual, medically and psychologically oriented therapy - sometimes involving the renunciation of a further IVF therapy.
