Abstract: Based upon behavioral decision theory, a technique is proposed to help couples make childbearing decisions that are most satisfying to them. Couples are provided with a structure, the hierarchy of birth planning values, by which they can examine in an orderly fashion the costs and benefits of having versus not having a (another) child. Two case histories illustrate the use of the hierarchy in birth planning counseling.
