Psychoanalytical approach of the infertility, which is not medically explained : a case study based on two projective tests (Rorschach and TAT)‎

Abstract EN

This study aims, from the psychoanalytic dynamic approach, to understand the psychopathological functioning of sterile women.

We have tried to deepen, the explanation of the psychogenic sterility, from a rather important research group, which will follow our results already published in previous publications, on the psychopathological organizations underlying psychogenic sterility.

This is a clinical study based on the case study.

The research group is made up of 32 sterile women.

The means used are: clinical interview and projective techniques (TAT and Rorschach).

The analysis of the data shows the fragility of psychic functioning in sterile women; marked by a lack of flexibility in defensive elaborations; but above all it confirmed that behind the symptom of infertility lies a story specific to each woman and a suffering that can only be expressed in a particular context of the clinic
