Abstract: 
Aside from knowledge of the respective causes in women and men, the therapy of couples with unfulfilled wish for a child requires the patients' willingness to submit to treatment. From a psychological point of view, the extent of the suffering is focused on, to be presupposition of the patients' compliance. Results from various research groups suggest that men tend to portray themselves as being especially unstressed. In the following report, considerations about the consequences to the doctor-patient relationships in andrology will be depicted. Among other things, the problematic relationship between the men affected and their fathers will be discussed as a possible cause of the self images of these men.
