This is a description.

There are 7.3 million people in the United States who are struggling with infertility. You are likely to see this sooner or later if you haven’t already. Awareness of the unique profile of patients suffering with the unmet longing for a baby is required to work effectively with this highly stressed population. The purpose of the workshop is to give you an opportunity to understand the challenges these men, women and couples face and to learn brief therapy, mind/body interventions that will make a difference. Infertility is a state of mind. You can learn how to adapt the skills you learn to other infertile people in your practice.

The educational objectives are listed.

1. Construct a protocol for ego strengthening in the face of the devastating diagnosis of infertility.
2. List and be able to utilize three mind/body coping skills that can serve to reverse the physiology of stress.
3. Identify two ways that you can adapt a larger understanding of infertility to other patients in your practice.
