Abstract
Chapter 13 of Hilgers' NaProTECHNOLOGY textbook establishes a clinical behavioral taxonomy unique to the Creighton Model FertilityCare System, distinguishing between achieving-related and avoiding-related use based on whether a couple's actions increase or decrease the probability of conception. The chapter argues that a "taking a chance" mindset is inherently contraceptive in psychology and must be replaced with intentional, education-grounded behavior that reflects a couple's genuine family planning goals.
