Abstract

SILVA, Ellen Fernanda Gomes da  and  BARRETO, Carmem. Men who experiences infertility: clients of "stork technological". Rev. abordagem gestalt. [online]. 2017, vol.23, n.1, pp.10-21. ISSN 1809-6867.

This research aimed to understand the experience of infertile men, who participate in a Assisted Reproduction Service. Qualitative, this research is in tune to the hermeneutic phenomenological perspective, focusing on interpretive understanding founded in Philosophical Hermeneutics, proposal made by Gadamer. For access to the experience we used the narrative interviews and the records made in the "logbook" of the researchers, from its insertion into the locus of research. The accounts of the employees pointed to difficulties experienced while trying to assisted reproduction methods, which led to discomfort experiences, strangeness, and of hopelessness against the bureaucracy and slowness of services in the hospital. The interlocutors narrated his experience forward to the technical /medical procedures, unveiling the one hand the technical usefulness of the parental project and on the other, its dominance in the hegemony of scientific discourse and understanding of the male body as a raw material to be exploited and improved.

Keywords : Infertility male; Psychology; Reproductive techniques.
