Abstract

The article provides an overview of modern foreign studies on the psychological aspects of assisted reproductive technologies (ART). Research areas have been identified: ethical issues of ART methods; psychological aspects of infertility; psychological factors of treatment; psychological intervention during treatment; methodological research apparatus; methods of psychological assistance to ART patients. The article introduces paradigm shifts from the psychological causes of infertility to the psychological consequences of infertility and treatment problems. The results of the studies indicate the ambiguity of the relationship of negative mental states of patients with the success of treatment. The lack of elaborated methodological foundations and theoretical approaches to this problem in foreign studies is noted, in contrast to national works based on the theory of functional systems, the doctrine of the dominant and modern perinatal and reproductive psychology.
