  • Title: [Child and families in the era of reproduction technology--new questions within the scope of child psychiatric treatment].
    Author: Huck W, Thorn P.
    Journal: Prax Kinderpsychol Kinderpsychiatr; 2002 Feb; 51(2):103-17. PubMed ID: 11921877.
    Abstract:
    In the last years the number of children born after assisted human reproduction has increased significantly. These technologies have created new challenges for the families as well as for the professionals involved. This article provides an overview of families after in-vitro-fertilisation, intracytoplasmatic sperm injection and donor insemination. The impact of the specific family composition after DI is described in detail. Two case histories indicate that these families may be confronted with psychiatric and child-development issues. Therefore it is helpful to understand the specific issues of these families. Prospective studies will play an important role in order to understand the quality of parent-child-relationship as well as psychological coping strategies, especially in times of crisis.
