title: [Psychic factors in female unexplained infertility].
abstract: Unexplained cases of female infertility were studied from a psychoanalytical point of view emphasizing the unconscious secondary gain from the illness. Three groups of cases were isolated: post traumatic infertility, neurotic infertility and infertility correlated with eating disorders and disturbed self image. Joint consultations between gynecologists and psychoanalysts are proposed.
