ABSTRACT
Infertility has been well documented over time as a crisis and a trauma for some individuals and couples (Burns & Covington, 2006; Carter et. al., 2007; Peoples & Rovner-Ferguson, 2000; Shapiro et al., 2001), and was also shown to be associated with posttraumatic growth (Paul et. al., 2009). This chapter presents a case vignette of one couple's infertility journey from crisis and trauma to posttraumatic growth, highlighting practice strategies used to facilitate growth and specific areas where growth was manifested. Names and identifying information have been changed to protect privacy.
