Men and women are likely to suffer from infertility in similar ways, but gender differences account for different ways in revealing--and not revealing--this emotional pain. The following article is based on this understanding. It seeks to describe counselling tasks and interventions that support men and their partners considering donor insemination. This pre-treatment counselling comprises a range of issues, including the provision of medical and legal information, supporting the grieving process, managing the taboo and stigma surrounding donor insemination, supporting disclosure, and last but not least raising awareness of the needs of the future child. The aim of counselling is to explore the short- and long-term implications and thus facilitate the shift from biological to social fatherhood for men and their partners.
男性和女性可能以相似的方式遭受不孕不育之苦，但性别差异导致他们在表露——或不表露——这种情感痛苦的方式上有所不同。以下文章基于这一认识。它旨在描述为考虑接受供精人工授精的男性及其伴侣提供支持的咨询任务和干预措施。这种治疗前咨询涵盖一系列问题，包括提供医学和法律信息、支持悲伤过程、处理围绕供精人工授精的禁忌和污名、支持信息披露，以及最后但同样重要的是提高对未来孩子需求的认识。咨询的目的是探讨短期和长期影响，从而促进男性及其伴侣从生物学父亲身份向社会父亲身份的转变。
