[Therapeutical treatment of primiparae to reduce anxieties in connection with pregnancy and delivery (author's transl)].
Two groups of primiparae were subjected to two different forms of basically behavior therapeutic treatments which aimed to reduce birth anxiety. In comparison with an untreated control-group a significant reduction of birth anxieties was found. There was no significant effect between the treatment-groups. Therapeutical success did not depend on anxiety-level before therapy. In relation to behavior during delivery a higher degree of relaxation was only found in the second experimental group.
