Abstract
Sexual frigidity in a 28-year-old married Greek woman was successfully treated by more than 3 years of psychotherapy. The therapy was carried out along psychoanalytic lines on a 3 to 4-times-a-week basis. The case reported and the final outcome of the patient''s analysis verify the Freudian views on feminine frigidity, the specific psychodynamic constellation of which is classic, namely: Oedipus fixation, unconscious guilt accompanying aggression towards both parents, masculinity strivings, rejection of femininity and penis envy.Keywords
