    Abstract:
    Questionnaries were sent to the 10 family planning counseling centers in Switzerland, the information organized, and presented in 10 detailed tables. These bureaus (official, clinical, or private) were founded between 1956-1967 and deal with contraception, birth control, sterility, prevention of abortion, and marriage, family, and sexual counseling. They are staffed by physicians, social workers, and to some extent psychiatrists and ministers. Bureaus with clinical affiliations are the most effective, because they are more highly regarded, and because medical treatment, follow-up, and specialized counseling are immediately available. In certain areas improvements should be made. More centers are needed, and the bureaus should coordinate their activities. Research investigations should be increased, and the results shared by the centers and made known to the public. Sex education is a potentially important task, and even more attempts should be made to expose and educate the public concerning family planning. Training of personnel is extremely important, and specialists from other fields can aid the doctors and social workers.
