Abstract
A new method of treatment of vaginismus by using i.v. diazepam abreaction interviews is reported. Four patients between the ages of 19 and 28 were interviewed. The duration of their main complaint varied from 6 mo. to 3 yr. Three to 6 abreaction interviews were conducted; the maximum dosage of Valium used was from 20-30 mg. All of these patients reported having successful intercourse after these interviews. Individual psychotherapy continued after the interviews on a weekly basis, and marital therapy on a monthly basis, for a period of 2-6 mo. Three of 4 women reported being orgasmic for the 1st time. This new method of treatment of vaginismus seems to be greatly beneficial.
