John Kurtz Expert in Psych Testing

Today’s episode is so important.  All of our guests are important, but if you are considering donor conception to build your family this episode is a must.    Few people understand what should go into donor screening or why.  Several elements are important, including psychological testing.  It is essential to ensure your donor has not only had a psychological interview, but an objective personality test before you consider them as a genetic contributor for your future child.  This test, the Personality Assessment Inventory (PAI), is currently the most widely accepted and utilized in our industry.   You have little control over this process. Why not do the best you can to help prevent mental health issues for your future child?   John Kurtz, PhD is one of the people who worked on the original crafting of this test and has published research and taught many professionals (like me) about its importance and how to use it.  He is a professor at Villanova University and a PAI specialist.   In today’s episode, he will share some of the reasons why the right type of psychological testing is important, and some of the problems that can be prevented by ensuring that this important step is part of your criteria in choosing a donor.   If you are interested in any of the topics discussed in this episode...
