title: [Psychological and gynecological characteristics of rejection of the maternal role and its significance for sterility].
abstract: In connection with 204 cases the authors endeavoured to reveal the psychogenous causes of functional sterility by examining the personality structure of their patients. The patients visited the clinic because of their primary or secondary sterility. In 44 cases the husband or partner were also examined from psychological point of view, or were treated with psychotherapy. The psychogenous causes of functional sterility were found to be multifactorial and divided into 18 groups. Among these factors, which caused sterility directly or indirectly, there were some, which could be eliminated by psychotherapy, and there were some, which had already caused an irreversible change in the personality,--Beside the success of therapy the effectiveness of the gynecologist-psychologist team-work is remarkable.
