摘要

欧美的一些夫妻和家庭治疗方法对促进非洲大陆夫妻和家庭治疗的成功实践起到了重要作用。然而,本文描述了这样一个案例:一对非洲夫妇的一元生育困扰无法仅靠欧美家庭治疗传统来解决。一元生育被定义为婚姻中出现无子或无女情况下的危机,即婚姻中只生育男孩或女孩的情况。通过处方药进行医疗干预,往往会加重而不是增强遭受一元生育困扰的夫妇的心理健康。因此,我们认为鼓励发展和认可心理学文献是有益的,这些文献提出了在不诉诸药物或复杂而敏感的体外受精程序的情况下如何控制这种困扰的方法。文章建议,应对一元生育困扰的夫妇所面临挑战的主要一揽子干预措施,包括向他们传授基于生育意识的计划生育方法(即与非洲文化观点相一致的比林斯排卵法)的原则和做法。

The distress of one-dimensional fertility in an African family

Several Euro-American approaches to couple and family therapy have been instrumental in promoting successful practice of couple and family therapy in continental Africa. This article, however, describes one instance in which an African couple's distress of one-dimensional fertility could not be resolved by drawing solely from the Euro-American family therapy tradition. One-dimensional fertility is defined as a crisis that arises in conditions of sonlessness or daughterlessness in a marriage, that is, in situations where there are only male or female children born to the marriage. The use of medical intervention through the prescription of drugs often worsens rather than enhances the psychological well-being of couples who suffer from the distress of one-dimensional fertility. Therefore, it is considered beneficial to encourage the development and recognition of psychological literature that suggests what to be done to control such a distress without recourse to the use of medication or the complicated and sensitive procedure of in vitro fertilisation. The article suggests that the leading intervention package for attending to the challenge of couples with the distress of one-dimensional fertility entails the exercise of inducting them into the principles and practice of the fertility awareness-based method of family planning known as the billings ovulation method that is in harmony with the African cultural perspective.

期刊介绍: The ANZJFT is reputed to be the most-stolen professional journal in Australia! It is read by clinicians as well as by academics, and each issue includes substantial papers reflecting original perspectives on theory and practice. A lively magazine section keeps its finger on the pulse of family therapy in Australia and New Zealand via local correspondents, and four Foreign Correspondents report on developments in the US and Europe.
