title: Genital exhibitionism in women.
abstract: Historically, genital exhibitionism has usually been regarded as an exclusively male phenomenon. The authors present a case study of a female exhibitionist which is at variance with that contention. They offer a formulation of the psychodymanics of female exhibitionism, focusing on its pregenital, attention-seeking purpose. The findings from this case justify a critical reexamination of the traditional definitions of exhibitionism.
