The results of diagnostics of 2582 women and 1347 men, admitted for psychotherapy in a day hospital, because of neurotic, behavioral and personality disorders. Results.

Also traumatic events potentially disturbing psychosexual development were reported by patients, however with a different frequency, this being higher for self-assessed lack of sexual education in childhood or forced sexual debut, and low for incest or very early commencement, and for being punished for masturbation. Conclusions. Psychotherapists as well as other professionals treating neurotics, should expect – besides numerous typical symptoms: anxiety, somatization etc. – complaints from area of sexual dysfunctions.
