ABSTRACT

This work comes from several studies with sterile women, in which there is an association between an increase in the number of symptoms and a decrease in self-esteem and self-concept. Both theoretical constructs refer to the ability to value oneself. The first one is the feeling of value that a person assigns and recognizes from its own history. The second one is the reflection of own perceptions and how people look at her. Self-concept can be understood as a self-esteem substructure composed of different elements narrowly related. Elements of the substructure of self-concept are affections expressed in their most external, instrumental and superficial portion. As fertility treatments extend and fail, other substructures seem to be invaded until the self-concept border is overtaken reaching self-esteem. Increasing self-esteem and self-concept are not the objectives of psychotherapy, but it is to provide elements to allow a person to function with a reasonable valuation, where internal and external realities provide a healthy way of adaptation in their daily world.
