In the preceding pages, an attempt has been made to emphasize some of the more important psychologic aspects of gynecology and obstetrics. This review should be considered incomplete and the interested reader should refer to the many excellent papers and reviews on each of the topics mentioned and many more not mentioned. If there is any one guiding principle, it is that the obstetrician-gynecologist, more than most specialists, must be able to listen to and to hear the fears and anxieties of his or her patients. The need to include the patient as a partner with a controlling interest in her care is paramount. The gynecologist-obstetrician can truly become the patient's primary physician in the finest sense of the word.
在前面几页中，我们试图强调妇产科一些较为重要的心理学方面。这篇综述应被视为不完整的，感兴趣的读者应参考关于上述每个主题以及许多未提及主题的众多优秀论文和综述。如果说有任何一条指导原则的话，那就是妇产科医生比大多数专科医生更必须能够倾听并理解患者的恐惧和焦虑。将患者视为其护理中具有控制权益的伙伴这一需求至关重要。从这个词最美好的意义上来说，妇产科医生能够真正成为患者的初级医生。
