Review :
"Coping with Infertility is a breakthrough book - the best resource written directly for couples to understand and cope with issues involving infertility. I plan to recommend this exceptional book to all my couples facing infertility." - Barry McCarthy, Ph.D., Washington Psychological Center "Based on research evidence, yet clearly and comprehensively written, this important book is must reading for you or anyone you know who is in the midst of the emotional turmoil of fertility treatment." - Nicholas A. Cummings, Ph.D., Sc.D., Distinguished Professor, University of Nevada, Reno "Infertility can be one of the most emotionally painful challenges to overcome. Although the majority of couples are successful in having a baby, the emotional impact may leave deep scars and, for some, limit their success. Coping with Infertility helped our patients to avoid those scars and improve their success. We now strongly recommend it to all of our patients at their first visit." - Russell A. Foulk, M.D., Medical Director, Nevada & Idaho Centers for Reproductive Medicine "While there are numerous books available on the topic of infertility, many of the available publications address the biological and medical aspects, ignoring the emotional impact of infertility on couple relationship dynamics. In their book, Jacobs and O'Donohue seek to provide a helpful resource for couples facing the emotions, grief, and stress of infertility." - Kami L. Schwerdtfeter, M.S. and Bobbi J. Miller, M.S., Texas Tech University in Journal of Couple and Relationship Therapy Here's what women, men, and couples are saying about Coping with Infertility... "The book really helped me to deal with my anger and depression. It also helped my husband and me to channel our energies toward solving this problem and seriously discussing all our options." "Reading this book was like talking to a professional with unlimited time on their hands. It had tons of useful information about infertility and gave me skills to deal with my stress." "The book made me realize that infertility is not my punishment, and that many people go through this. It isn't just me out there." "Coping with Infertility was very reassuring and gave us hope. It was nice to have some support through this book."
