The Complete Fertility Organizer: A Guidebook and Record-Keeper for Women
Patricia Irwin Johnston
The recurring then throughout this book is a "get real" approach for infertile couples. Relearning how to communicate effectively is stressed, complemented by up-to-date, accurate infmormation with respet to the infertility evaluation and treatment. In summary, it's all here in a readily understandable manner. Ms. Johnston is to be congratulated for her well-organized, succinct approach to providing truly state-of-the-art knowledge for patients. RESOLVE of Pittsburgh (May/June 1994) "This book does much more than just list options. .. I was impressed by the number of issues that were presented clearly as 'food for thought:' re-commitment to the relationship in spite of infertility; the grief/infertility treadmill; decision-making/prioritizing/communication strategies; medical treatment options, life without children; adoption; and more...It's method of presentation is surprisingly original and exciting....The title of the book alone is a definite-sell: what more could we infertility patients want than a way to at least have a change at taking charge of infertility? I actually felt more empowered because the book not only navigated the decision-making steps along the way, but took the time to pose the tough questions from which some so often get detoured.
