Functional male dyspareunia: a case study.
An apparently successful treatment of a male with a long history of dyspareunia is discussed. The case is unique not only because the subject was male but also in that the etiology was functional. The case demonstrates the multicausal nature of dyspareunia as well as the need for an approach utilizing both a psychodynamic and behavioral methodology.
