Women divorced at midlife without children are a group that is “out of sync” in a society that is still primarily a “married, mothering” world. This book explores the clinical issues, dilemmas, and challenges for women in this role. The book presents a solution focused, relational/constructionist clinical approach and therapeutic techniques for working with these women. Application of clinical techniques and case examples are presented, and new concepts for women’s recovery and development such as role innovation, meaning modification, autonomous competence, and an expanded family life cycle are also suggested in the book.

Infertility is a growing problem in today's world, despite the advanced reproductive technologies, which have far-reaching implications for the family and culture. The book opens with a physician's comprehensive overview of the medical treatments available to infertile couples and then moves on to explore the emotional impact of the infertility crisis. Couples who are infertile ride a monthly roller coaster while they are in treatment; the stresses reverberate throughout the family system and affect every aspect of the couple's life. Gender differences are accentuated; differences in cultural or religious beliefs are magnified; extended families are torn apart; and the couple experiences poor communication, sexual difficulties, or a lack of meaning or fulfillment in life. Infertility also affects the couple's families and work and friendship systems. Cooper-Hilbert provides a map through the emotional stages of the infertility crisis, highlighting themes of disappointment, anger, disillusionment, and grief. She presents case examples to give the reader insight into the wide-ranging effects of infertility and discusses specific therapeutic interventions. The consequences of infertility can be longlasting, affecting the couple system long after resolution was believed to have occurred. Cooper-Hilbert discusses methods that help the therapist recognize an infertility problem when it is not the presenting complaint. She also describes interventions for individuals and couples who are involuntarily childless, but not necessarily infertile, such as singles, gay and lesbian couples, spouses in blended family configurations, and out-of-phase couples. The author closes the book with a thought-provoking discussion of biotechnology, emphasizing the need for social awareness, medical ethics, and legal action to keep pace with this complex science. Infertility and Involuntary Childlessness gives therapists all of the information they need to successfully help couples and families resolve their infertility crisis.

As many as one in five couples in some population groups might be involuntarily childless and, despite the attention attracted by technological advances and media coverage, people often feel themselves to be totally isolated, stigmatised, and misunderstood by many professionals and ordinary people. Childless: No Choice is based on original research into the emotional and social aspects of involuntary childlessness, the main component being a long-term study of the experiences of couples attending an infertility clinic, supported by a community survey and a study of the attitudes of general practitioners. At a time of rapidly developing treatments for infertility and new legislative controls, it is important that all those professionally involved have a full appreciation of the experiences and views of infertile people themselves. While there is enormous attention in the media given to getting pregnant and to childbirth, there is an almost total neglect of the possibility that for some people these `natural' functions may not happen. James H. Monach examines in detail the causes of childlessness and the availability of choices for childless people including artificial insemination, fostering and adoption. This book will be invaluable to doctors, sociologists, social workers, psychologists, health administrators and to anyone who works with childless couples, as well as to childless couples themselves.

Children are the focus of marriage in African cultures. Marriage is considered full and functional only if the couple has children--in many cultures preferably a boy. Becoming a parent also contributes to one's full adulthood in the sense that childlessness blocks ascent towards full personal dignity as an adult person in the community. As a result, childlessness is often a major disaster for both of the spouses. It has social, economical, and personal consequences, quite often including divorce. This book explores in depth how childlessness is perceived, dealt with, and coped with in two Christian communities in Machame on the slopes of Mt. Kilimanjaro. Childlessness is approached through narratives of the spouses concerned and the members of their communities. Their stories reveal pain and courage, brokenness and strength, faithfulness and betrayal. Christianity presents itself in an ambiguous light, on one hand, pressuring spouses to keep up facades supporting oppressive structures. On the other hand, Christian faith provides childless couples with personal hope in the afterlife that the African traditional culture offers only to those with children. This study proves that childlessness is not only a personal but also a communal problem. Childlessness and the fear of having no children contribute to family structures and sexual behavior. In this way, they have a considerable impact on the spread of HIV/AIDS in Africa. However, this study reveals that the attitudes and practices towards marriage and children need not be petrified, but rather that traditions can, and do, change.

The interviewees explain the reasons for their choice and explore its impact on their freedom, relationships, job opportunities, and finances. They also discuss their mixed feelings, their family background, and their concern over the world's ever-growing population. The picture that emerges challenges the stereotype of men who decide against parenthood as immature, selfish, and irresponsible.

Fall in love. Get married. Have children. For most couples, marriage and children go hand in hand. And yet, the number of people choosing childlessness is on the rise. These are the childless by choice-people who have actively decided not to have children—rather than the childless by circumstance. In Two Is Enough, Laura S. Scott explores the assumptions surrounding childrearing, and explores the reasons many people are choosing to forgo this experience. Scott, founder of the Childless by Choice Project, examines the personal stories of people who have faced this decision and explores the growing trend of childlessness. Scott’s expert knowledge and analysis offer a picture of the childless by choice-who they are, why they’ve chosen to remain childless, and how they’ve had these conversations with loved ones. Honest and unapologetic, Two Is Enough recognizes the challenges of being childless in today’s society and offers suggestions on how that same society can change to make room for the childless and the childfree.
