Psychological assessment of gestational carrier candidates: current approaches, challenges, and future considerations
The role of a mental health professional (MHP) in the psychological assessment of gestational carrier (GC) candidates has evolved over time, with clinical practices well established in the United States. Current ASRM guidelines recommend that all GC candidates undergo a psychosocial consultation and psychological testing (where deemed appropriate). Practice standards are relatively consistent among mental health disciplines, with assessments typically involving a clinical interview and the administration of a single, objective, self-report personality inventory.
