A link is suggested to exist between any unexplained or relatively unexplained lowering of fertility and an inner sensitivity, largely or wholly unconscious, to some situation that renders it an unsuitable time or place for the individual or couple to allow the arrival of a baby. The psycho-social and intra-psychic processes involved in such situations can be quite subtle, and the question of their neuroendocrinological connections presents an intriguing area for future research. Some sociological, anthropological and psycho-analytical findings relevant for this theme are outlined here. Three illustrative vignettes are presented, the clinical material on which the findings are based is summarized briefly, and a discussion is held about what appears to be required in treatment.
有人认为，在任何不明原因或相对不明原因的生育力下降与一种内在敏感性之间存在联系，这种内在敏感性很大程度上或完全是无意识的，针对某种情况而言，这种情况使得对个人或夫妇来说，此时此地并非迎接婴儿降临的合适时机。这类情况中涉及的心理社会和心理内部过程可能相当微妙，而它们与神经内分泌的联系问题为未来研究提供了一个有趣的领域。这里概述了一些与该主题相关的社会学、人类学和精神分析学研究结果。给出了三个说明性的案例，简要总结了作为研究结果依据的临床资料，并对治疗中似乎需要的措施进行了讨论。
