PART 1: For this week’s essay, I would like you to pick an area of focus in IVF families. You could choose child well-being (you can look at physical health and development or psychological well-being). You can choose parenting in IVF families. You could look at psychological issues in families that have multiples (twins, triplets, etc.) from IVF. Or you can pick another area of IVF families that interests you. I would like you to compare and contrast 2 early studies (from the 80’s or early 90’s) to more recent studies (from the late 90’s to the present). Try to find some of the earlier research in your area of interest and then more recent research so you can see whether the findings of the researchers are similar or whether more recent studies have different findings than the earlier studies. The essay should be 3-4 pages (double-spaced) and should introduce your topic of interest, compare and contrast the earlier vs. later research, and summarize your findings. Feel free to speak with me to help you hone in on a topic if you are having difficulty. PART 2: An Introduction to Infertility Counseling: A Guide for Mental Health and Medical Professionals and The Role of the Mental Health Professional in Reproductive Medicine. I would like you to discuss the differences in these two articles from the standpoint of the advances that have occurred in this field. The Covington article was written in 1995 when reproductive psychology was in it’s infancy. Psychologists were in the position of educating medical professionals about the psychological factors in infertility and teaching them how we could be helpful to their patients. The field has grown tremendously and is today a collaborative effort between medical professionals and mental health professionals. Discuss your impressions of how the field has grown. Discuss and reflect on the advances in the field of reproductive psychology. Where do you think the field goes from here? What additional areas of growth do you see possible for psychologists who specialize in reproductive medicine?
