DEVELOPMENTAL AND SEXUAL FACTORS IN WOMEN: A COMPARISON BETWEEN CONTROL, NEUROTIC AND PSYCHOTIC GROUPS
Abstract
Comparison of groups of controls, neurotics, and psychotics were made by means of a structured interview. Developmental symptoms (enuresis and somnambulism) were not noted to be harbingers of psychiatric disease. Menopausal symptoms, dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, frequency of orgasms and enjoyment of coitus did not differentiate the groups. A higher incidence of miscarriages was noted in psychotic patients and a lower incidence of somnambulism was seen in the psychoses. A significantly higher percent of psychotics had intercourse infrequently, although in other sexual areas as noted above the psychotic group was like the others.
