Abstract
26 patients with frequency, urgency and urgency incontinence, without bladder or urethral abnormality, underwent psychiatric evaluation. They were divided into 2 groups according to the degree of neuroticism found. Treatment by group and individual psychotherapy showed that approximately one-third of the patients benefited considerably, one-third refused treatment or ceased prematurely and one-third improved slightly or not at all. The importance of excluding organic bladder or urethral disease prior to psychiatric assessment is stressed.
