Abstract: Motherhood and reproductive life are key biographic themes for people with mental disorders with a strong impact on quality of life. Too narrow a focus on motherhood, a lack of focus on the individual perspective and on professional views towards reproductive life are among shortcomings of current research. A broad perspective on family planning is proposed with research issues ranging from the desire for children to the subjective meaning of motherhood and loss of parental rights. Sociological concepts and methods are pertinent.
