Abstract: Much of the research on infertility reinforces differing effects for women and men, with women reporting more serious repercussions
medically. psychologically. and socially. However. the unique counseling needs of infertile women have not been addressed
through traditional counseling theory. The Relational Model (J. V. Jordan, 1995) of women's development is a theory that explains
women's development in a context of relationships, specifically relationships that promote growth for self and others. This model
is applied to counseling women who are experiencing infertility. and a case presentation is provided to illustrate the approach.
