[Psychological aspects relating to artificial donor insemination (ADI) (author's transl)]. 1980

U Graf, and H J Glander

Discussed in this paper is the psychic situation of sterile couples who resort to artificial insemination, using donor semen (ADI). --Careful psychodiagnostic checking prior to ADI seems to be essential to forestalling psychic problems. ADI treatment should be applied solely to really sterile couples of stable psychic status and with good communication between the two partners. A method of psychological preparation for ADI is described. Psychodiagnostic examinations should be followed by specific gynaecological checks. Such approach will yield at least two advantages: 1. Gynaecological examination will not be necessary, if contra-indications are concluded from psychological checking 2. Early psychological assessment of sterile couples will become possible. Favourable psychic development of both couples and children born as a result of ADI will be an additional advantage of high probability.
