Abstract:
A new vision in health care is emerging, challenging the age old separation of mind and body which I believe undergirds the reproductive crisis of today. There is growing evidence that our emotional and physical health and well-being is affected by the complex interplay of psychosocial, psychological and physiological factors, affecting conception.

Abstract:
As I considered writing this article I thought, I guess I'll have to use a false name. That determined it. After all this time I still felt too ashamed to own that as a child aged seven to sixteen I had been sexually abused by two men in their 40s-50s. From this realisation the article has been born and written without a pseudonym—I have had the courage to own it.

Abstract:
‘Listen, I'm a psychologist, I can handle that…just let me see her…please!’ I shouted with all my strength as two male nurses struggled to stop me from entering the room where my partner's body lay. Less than an hour ago I had witnessed the most horrific car accident and had held her head as she breathed for the last time. As the ambulance arrived and the firemen dragged her body out of the ruins, the only sedative that the human organism can produce was beginning to abandon me… Denial was now turning into desperation and my consciousness was initiating its attempts to integrate the loss of my partner of three years. Even though I was convinced that by stating my status of mental health practitioner I would be allowed to say goodbye for the last time, my pompous declaration appeared to have no effect on the hospital staff and all I could do was to watch what was happening like a convict whose sentence is to watch his worst nightmare over and over and over again without even being able to close his eyes…

Abstract:
I grew up in the emotional gutter. My social-phobic, sexually-abused, suicidal mother gained little benefit from twenty years of expensive psychiatric treatment. And at 52, although I had a CV which many would envy (registration as a psychologist, international authorship, a career in computers in its heady pioneering days, as well as postgraduate degrees in both physics and psychology), I didn't feel that I had faired much better.
